The 47 best spots for chicken wings in Austin

Amazing wings. Perfectly crispy and the sauce was on point. Garlic tots were also fantastic. The lolipop style was the way to go. Quick service. Would recommend.

Absolutely loved the wings here! Usually hate boned wings because of the hassle it takes to eat one. But these “lollipop” wings make it super convenient to eat. Along with the ease, the quality of chicken and seasoning is superb. I’ve seen people comment on the pricing but if you google the process of making lollipops wings every single cent is justified.

Sad sad sad days for me.. i heard so much good things about this spot I finally came into town to try it out because it says they are open on Google maps. But when I got here they were closed. SADDDD DAYYYZZZ.. I will try it again sometime and change this review if they live up to expectations, but until then ima head to THE POTLUCK down the street they are open..till the next time JUMBO WANT WINGY TOO!!

Tommy Want Wingy – and so did I… until Holy Schnikes happened. Decided to test my ego (and taste buds) with the Holy Schnikes heat level, which was basically like signing a waiver for my dignity. Spoiler alert: bad idea. Somewhere between “this is fine” and “why is my soul trying to escape my body?” I realized I had severely overestimated my spice tolerance. BUT once I came crawling back to the mid-range heat wings (you know, where normal humans live), it was absolute bliss. Perfectly crispy, juicy, saucy goodness — honestly, some of the best wings I’ve had in Austin. Lesson learned: stay humble, stay medium. Tommy, you can wing me anytime… just maybe not straight into the gates of flav

The only way too order is on line..Lolpop drums are cooked perfect .But the 2 sauce I tried buffalo n fire ranch there was next too no sauce or rub a ranch cup helps cause it was bland..If it was not for the well cook wings I'd say never again .But I'd try again and hope for that 5 star wing. But at $30 for 10 wings they should be on point every time

This place is totally underrated, it is a hidden gem. We came across it randomly while going to another store near by and oh man was I not expecting it to be this good. I have gone back atleast 4x since discovering it over the last 3 weeks. Sheesh. My personal favorite is the ranch on fire wings and the ranch on fire fries. Best fries I’ve ever had, no kidding. They are definitely on the spicier side and I have a high spice tolerance so be careful of that. The pineapple flavored wings are also really good a tolerable spice level. 10/10 recommend. It’s also not a long wait, usually about 10 minutes tops.

John at the food truck was super friendly and made the experience even better! The locals inside 04 hyped up the wings—and they were 100% right. Wings were so good, the ranch was almost a disservice. Only needed one dip. 🔥 Highly recommend! Your tastebuds will thank you!

i love going places with high expectations because you’ve read a bunch about it and it lives up to all the hype and then some! wingzup is such a great spot. sitting in an unassuming spot, you step in and it’s that classic atmosphere with lots of tvs, a bar, and friendly staff. then the wings arrive and you’ve realized you are definitely in the right place as they are cooked perfectly with great flavor. they have so many options it’s hard to pick, but honestly you can’t go wrong so keep going back!

First time eating in the facility. I've had it delivered at work and the wings were great...so I had to try them straight to the table and it did not disappoint! This is our new spot (hopefully you guys stay busy enough but still not hours long of waiting) what I mean is, it's still a hidden gem and once word gets out it's over!!! Anyways, give them a try, even when they do hear about yall-IT WILL BE WORTH A WAIT!!! I had the boneless buffalo ranch wings and the golden jalapeno ranch wings, both very tasty! Whatever the seasoning is on just the Golden wings is to die for!!! We will be back! Oh yeah, and the price is just right!!! You are paying for huge wings!!!

Ordered the fried mushrooms, waffle fries, sweet potato fries, Original, Country, and Golden style wings. The mushrooms were huge and ok. Both the waffle fries and sweet potato fries were very good. Nice simple fries made great. I wasn't a big fan of the Country style wings. I thought the batter was light and the taste was off. The Original were tossed in hot sauce. The wings were really good. The hot is HOT. I could taste the heat after the first wing. By far, my favorite were the Golden wings. I did dip them, but mostly ate them as is. The place had a great vibe if you're a sports fan. The service was great. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us regularly. I would come back for the Golden wings for sure.

We tried this place while visiting town, it was seat yourself. Not busy when we got there. I heard that they have won best wings in Austin before so we gave it a try. First of all ordered some drinks, I can say micheladas are good and it's the first place where I have seen a Mexican candy Rita so I decided to try it. Our drinks were good, they offer a wide variety of beers and cocktails. They do have a small bar inside. They have daily happy hour too. On the wings they let us try the sauces before ordering, they have different styles of wings which make them unique and different from other places. Instead of ordering fried, we ordered smocked wings and they were delicious. Cooked to perfection, meat falling off the bone. They offer a ample variety of flavors going from non spicy to really spicy. We ordered Cajun and I tried the ghost wings, which are the spiciest the have. I can assure you that they were spicy. Not for everyone. Added some garlic parmesan fries, also really good and generous in portion. We loved the service, the atmosphere, and we highly recommend it.

Great little place. The wings are large and delicious. So many flavors to choose from. We also tried regular Buffalo Hot wings that were very good. The Poutine dish is very good.

National Wingz Day...Wingz Up is the place to be. The wings are big & favorable. If u like some spicy, try any flavor in the orange/red spicy scale. Don't forget to try the adult beverages. We enjoyed shots and cocktails. The price for the wings and tenders may seem overpriced...but when I tell u it's really worth it. You will be back. I returned a week later with coworkers. I had the country style tenders. 😱🤯I ordered the 4 piece. And when I say I huge. Just check out the pic. Wingz Up wingz is on another level!!! Stop by.

I’ve been a regular at Wingz Up because, despite questionable service, the food has always been great. I was really looking forward to this meal, expecting the same quality I’ve loved in the past—but this time it was just blatantly disappointing and unacceptable. Service: My order was incorrect, and when I pointed it out, the food runner looked at me as if I was mistaken. Poppers were delayed, and a second batch of wings arrived even later, while other tables were served first. Not a single apology or attempt to make things right was offered. Service was slow, inattentive, and indifferent. Food: My friend ordered the mild boneless wings, which tasted a bit off and bland. Separately, the bone-in garlic ranch wings were even worse. They were dry and lacked flavor, prompting a friend to comment, “The chicken was better in the barracks than here.” The ketchup tasted strange, the salsa was overwhelmingly tomato-heavy, and the poppers tasted like cheap frozen ones with a chemical aftertaste. After they eventually brought me the correct food, the chicken was extremely dry instead of the usual juiciness I've come to expect. Fries and chips were the only redeeming food items. I’ve historically loved Wingz Up, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Both the food and service were awful, and significant improvements are needed before I consider returning.

Absolutely fantastic wings. They were huge, well fried, and a massive serving. The flavors were quite potent and had many options, will definitely be going back to try some different sauces. The service was a tad funky as ordering was all done via QR code and on our phones. It felt a tad clunky and I wasn't sure if I had ordered or not. All in all it wasn't that bad and the food came out in good time.

Love the service here! Push the button on the wall and they’re there right away. We had the Parmesan French fries and fried chicken with sauce on the Korean sauce on the side. Very good fried chicken btw. It fed 2.5 people.

I’ve visited Hi Wings several times. Their fried chicken is solid. I especially love the garlic parmesan and orange chicken flavors. Ordering is easy by phone (QR code). Service is limited (not much table service), but the staff are friendly.

Discalimer: This isn't my first trip here, my family and friends have eaten here about 5x prior to tonight. Every time the food and service is amazing. P.S. I have been to Korea and had the fried chicken experience there! Dining here is an authentic experience!! 10/10 I definitely recommend!! 💜

We ordered the Half Crispy Chicken with Sweet & Sour sauce, and 5 Battered Wings with Peach Habanero. We got both sauces on the side to keep the chicken crispy, and that was the right call! The chicken was super crispy and well seasoned on its own. The sweet & sour was classic and tangy, while the peach habanero had a nice balance of heat and sweetness. Garlic parmesan fries could have been better though

Rating: 4.6/5 [delivery] Garlic Lover's Chicken Half ($21.99): Fried chicken topped with a generous amount of fresh garlic and honey, served with one side—we chose pickled radish. The garlic honey glaze was an umami bomb! I could only eat one piece because of how intense it was. The chicken was huge, perfectly battered, and crispy. My husband loved this dish. Battered Wings (5 pcs - $13.49): These thin-battered wings were crispy on the outside and juicy inside. We got them tossed in sweet soy, which was absolutely delicious. The wings were a great size and stayed crunchy. I personally preferred these over the Garlic Lover's Chicken. For dipping sauce, we chose honey mustard, which was just okay. We also tried an extra 2 oz of Peach Habanero sauce ($2.50), which was fire—sweet with a nice spicy kick. Definitely worth trying at least once!

IMO, Prolly the best Korean fried wings in Austin. I'm never ever disappointed when I come here for Korean fried chicken. The cleanliness of the place, the service, the drinks available and the games on TV. You can't go wrong with either the whole chicken or the wings, they are always cooked to perfection. My favorite sauces are the regular Korean sweet & spicy or the can't go wrong Sweet Soy, so good!!! Chicken always come out hot made to order, and don't forget bout the fries, they always come out hot and fresh too. Prices may seem high but they are pretty fair, and you are never getting baby chicken wings. Also, if you don't want the sauces eat them plain, they are just as good that way. Go ahead and give this place a try it's awesome. Other flavors to try: i just tried, Jalapeno Parmesean, it was OK, it had heat but too much mayo flavor for me, The pepper chicken was not easy to find on the menu, but it's so worth it. Good amount of sweet with the heat. My 2nd favorite sauce.

100000% amazing! I made an online order and had ordered a buffalo chicken salad and they unfortunately forgot my chicken. I called and spoke to Tracy who not only made the order right but went above and beyond to make it fantastic. Tracy you are extremely wonderful and you were so sweet I wanted to give you the recognition you deserve! Thank you for everything. To you it might be chicken but to me it was the kindness you showed. Thank you! The ladies up front were also super sweet but the whole situation was overall great!

I had a great experience at Pluckers Wing Bar! The food came out hot and delicious, and the atmosphere was fun and lively. Our waiter, Cruz, was awesome! he was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. Definitely appreciate the great service, and I’d come back again.

If you’re visiting / living here you gotta come here! Darlene was our server she was absolutely fast professional attentive and an amazing waitress. The food at pluckers is ALWAYS good and a staple in Texas! Restaurant was also very clean and they really take care of us every single time we go. We came for the $8 special for 7/25/25 30th anniversary and the price is incredible!

Hreat place ti watch all your favorite sports and eat wings. I hand 15 dry rub wings of various flavors, cheese sticks , and pina colada margarita...drink special $1.50 off draft beer ultra and miller

Went during trivia night! It was a great time. Leslie was a great server and food was great!

I had an amazing experience at Pluckers, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Ruby! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. She was friendly, attentive, and really knew the menu and gave some awesome recommendations, especially on the wings and sauces. Drinks were refilled quickly, food came out hot and fresh, and they checked in just the right amount. Pluckers is lucky to have someone like Ruby on the team. Can’t wait to come back!

Food was great! We got here and there was no wait on a Sunday afternoon! Elisa was our server and she was amazing! The fact that she’s bilingual was helpful for some of my family members and made our experience so much better! We will definitely come back again!

We ran in close to closing. Everyone was so accommodating. They're was live music in the back. The food was exceptional. The brisket was moist and perfectly cooked, the pork ribs tender, and the blueberry pie and peach cobbler- delicious!! Great gem of a place!

Our server was SO very helpful! She'd been Lafayette, Louisiana where we are all from, however not now living. Everyone enjoyed their food. The hot peach cobbler was delicious. We love the fried okra. Our 14 year old liked the tomato based jambalaya.

Finally made it here and sad that it took me so long bec it was some great home cookin’. Everything was just right, not over seasoned or overly fancy… just some great food. The chicken fried chicken, catfish platter and sides (green beans, mac n cheese, jambalaya and fried okra) were delicious. We arrived 30 mins before closing so we just sat inside. Place was clean and had a nice, cozy ambiance. Glad this place is still around and was saved some years ago from shutting down. Will return to try some actual bbq in the future.

Great BBQ joint!!! Pork tbs and brisket very tender, chopped sandwich very good and greasy. French fries fresh. Really enjoy eating here over some of the larger establishments. It’s an old school vibe, plenty of parking on site.

Seriously Though, If You're Looking For Great, Inexpensive BBQ In Austin, Everything Is Delicious Here, Including The Beer! 🌮🍖🥪🍻 The Green Mesquite BBQ is an Austin Classic! Located on Barton Springs Road near Lamar, this Local Gem of a restaurant is known for its incredible quality of food and respectable selection of Texas beer. They're also awesome for supporting the local music scene by hosting artists every night of the week! Open Mic is Every Thursday starting around 6pm. Recommended dishes: *Brisket Tacos *Pulled Pork Sandwich The Veggie Platter is a good deal as well. My favorites were the mac n' cheese and the fried okra. The new owner, Rick, provides a great family friendly atmosphere for a beautiful night out in ATX. Staff members like Tomàs, Pasqual, Lulu, Jules, and pretty much everyone else provide great service as well! Long Live Texas BBQ, Beers, and Live Music! 🤠🤘🏼🎶🍻

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rick Garcia and the Green Mesquite Crew Deserve a Blue Ribbon! Rick Garcia — you and you staff realy kick out a cool vibe. The food? Dinomite! Every bite hit the spot — hearty, flavorful, and clearly made with love. I have to give props for the man playing the jams as we left. They were straight out of my favorite roller rink growing up. Your place (your playlist & the band from San Antonio) are going to be tough to beat in this town. Looking forward to having our Pabst Law Firm happy hour here soon. Cheers, man! Nicky & Frank

This is outstanding, down-home barbecue that isn't overpriced, unlike so many places in Austin. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a big warm, Texas welcome and a reassuring handshake from the owner Rick. He loves this business and it shows. The staff are friendly, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy taking care of their customers. It's a real family-run operation that radiates lots of love for good food and pride in sharing that passion with others. I found the portions to be a good size, and everything came out fresh without too long of a wait. We had the Frito pie, four meat platter of smoked chicken, brisket, sausage, and ribs. with Mac and cheese, green beans, and an extra side of coleslaw. I especially liked the tender smoked chicken with a nice crust on it, and the sausage with had that sharp snap when you cut into it, always a good sign. Brisket was delicous, it does have a slight pull (so not completely so soft and tender that it melts in your mouth), which is personal preference but I really enjoyed it. Green beans, hush puppies, and Frito pie were all excellent. Craving something sweet to chase all that savory? Their homemade pies are AMAZING. We got a slice of blueberry pie to go for a late-night snack and it was superb.

This place was really well put together and had a great chill vibe when we arrived. Our server was nice and polite and took care of us and our unique needs. The food was cool to order which took a bit, but I don't mind waiting for hot food. And the plates were well put together and offered a good amount for the price. We ordered fish and wings, Mac and cheese, okra, rice and gravy along with some fried pickles. The pickles would slip out of the batter, but had a good flavor. Mac had a good flavor to it as well, with heavy pepper (for those picky eaters to beware!) rice and gravy had a amazing taste and was cooked to perfect. Chicken had a excellent crunch and flavor and size. Fish was very thinly sliced, could've had a tad more crunch to it in my opinion, but the flavor was good. Tarter sauce was good as well. Each plate was offered one slice of warm bread to go with the meal. Their cool aid is what you should order! It was chef's kiss to perfection! Food was about $25-$20 with a high priced drinks of over $3! We spent about $80 for our meal of 3.

The tenders, fries and chicken wings tasted like it was cooked it old grease and had a slightly burnt appearance. The chicken lacked flavor, likely due to the old grease they fried it in. However, they were crispy. The condiments might’ve helped but everything was off brand (ketchup & ranch). The macaroni…I feel like it was stove top and not oven baked. It tasted very bland and was barely sprinkled/cooked with any cheese. The yams were super mushy and sweet…not sure if they were canned or fresh. I also had shrimp that the menu said was large but they were extremely small. Overall, the food was not worth the price. BUT on high note, the customer service was great. The ladies who helped me were super sweet & helpful. The atmosphere seemed cool too….they had a DJ in there. I went at night.

First time here and had an AMAZING meal! The chicken is hands down some of the best I've had in town, fried okra was also seasoned excellently! Hubs had the chicken and waffle and he really enjoyed the waffle,, which can be lackluster at other spots serving the same dish. Looking forward to our next time eating here!! 💜✨️

The Rolling Rooster has good fried shrimp. The mac and cheese was to really good and I would recommend as a must try. The service was great. Unfortunately the table that we were going to be sat at was dirty and the host cleaned it for us by wiping it down. He did forget to dry it, but grateful it was cleaned. (I dried it myself with napkins). The waitress was friendly and helpful. They offer Happy Hour but I did not try any alcoholic beverages this time. The tables seem like they need an overhaul, a tad too tall and wobbly from wear and tear. But overall would definitely say give this place a try and of course order the mac and cheese!

We had the fried fish and chicken wings i wasn't disappointed at all with the food very tasty only thingi wish the fish had more meat they cut it really thin...the waitress would've gotten more tip if the restaurant didn't automatically add the tip to our ticket for only two people...so we gave the waitress what they ask for $8 What happened to adding tip to the ticket with 5 or more seated? This is why I gave 3 stars Just trying to show support for our black own businesses seem to get screwed almost every time...sad! But im not going to stop supporting

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Rolling Rooster is absolutely incredible! The food was out of this world — I had the chicken tenders, and they were hands down the best I’ve ever had: perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. On top of that, the service was amazing. Zee went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable, friendly, and welcoming. It’s rare to find a spot that nails both the food and the service, but The Rolling Rooster delivers on both fronts. Highly recommend if you’re craving great comfort food and a warm dining experience!

We stopped in on our way out of Austin. This place didn't disappoint! Definitely get the lamb chops as an appetizer. Everything is cooked fresh to order with love. You must check this gem out. Thank ya Nikki for the great hospitality!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great bar with an awesome vibe—and the bonus of a comedy club in the back makes it even better! Always a great time here. The bartenders are all friendly and make you feel welcome every visit. Perfect spot for drinks, laughs, and good vibes! 🍻😂

Be wary of the woman bartender with braids, she will scam you. I was there tonight, 10/11/25, i ordered the first round, i was charged $22+ before tip, for two native Texans on draft. My coworker ordered the next round, same 2 beers $18+ before tip. THEY WILL SCAM YOU. Always ask for an itemized receipt here. There food is decent but if they are going to be ripping people off, I will not be recommendation this place. Also, it does not pass my personal vibe check. They hire professional molesters to frisk you at the door. Any place where your personal space is invaded before you enter is never worth supporting. Buy metal detectors if security is that much of a concern. Absolutely not a place worth visiting. Go to Casino El Camino, they don't scam or touch you at the door.

Some disappointing factors to think about. #1 i bought 4 drinks for $25. I bought 2 of the same four drinks and it was $38. Different bartenders. Someone is ripping people off. #2 there is no food anymore. #3 some employees are cool and fun and some there just aren't.

Cool bar to stop and grab a beer at. They have beer pong and some fun claw machines! Won a rubber duck!

We were hungry. Ordered some snacks, no drinks. The snacks were ok… they were warm not hot, the mini corn dogs were not crispy. The atmosphere was better than the food. Friendly staff. As a dive bar, for drinks, it’s a good place to hang out with friends and dates

Was here yesterday 7/31/25 around 5:00 pm. Bought 3 beers and got charged DOUBLE the price. I forgot to pick up my second receipt , I don’t know if the girl gave herself a bigger tip but this is NOT okay. This used to be one of my favorite spots until this happened. Will not be coming back . Don’t forget to keep your receipts & check your bank accounts. Thief

Jackelope was legit! I got the BEC with a smashed patty and the sweet potato tots. The sweet potato tots are insannnnnnely good! I could eat those all day! There are a lot of pics of naked chicks...could do without that personally....but...it's a bar I suppose. Service was excellent and the prices were really good. Make sure to take a pic on the giant Jackalope!

Sushi was yummy and I loved the appetizers we got (especially the okonomiyaki). The sushi was a bit westernized but it was unique so I still liked it. The service was also amazing (I accidentally double tipped but they returned the extra tip after I emailed them)

I don’t 100% know where I fall on Kome. I think it’s absolutely fine. The bao was fine. The udon curry was fine. The Surf N Turf roll was fine but unnecessarily large. No individual part was particularly spectacular. Our server, Alex, was great. People rave about Kome and so I think it’s probably worth making a decision for yourself. I’ve seen this place be absolutely packed with long waits but I don’t think I could tell you why.

My friend and I are visiting Austin from out of town and decided to stop at Komé for a casual lunch today because of all the on line recommendations for the restaurant. While everything was amazing, I really want to highlight the staff and, especially, our waitress (I am so sorry, I forgot your name despite asking for it a second time). She was prompt, very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable of the menu, giving us great suggestions when asked. Of course, all the other staff we interacted with were very friendly and helpful, as well. As on line individuals described, the food came out quickly, while respecting our coursing, and delicious. Everything was, obviously, also of great quality despite being so affordable. We started off with the "aji fry" which was perfectly breaded, had a nice tender texture, and paired perfectly with the tartar sauce accompanying it. My friend ordered the "kitsune udon" and thoroughly enjoyed it with a side of steamed rice. I ordered the "chirashi-don", which our waitress recommended and had a variety of sashimi and definitely did not skimp out on the seafood. Everything on it was very fresh. It came with some "miso soup;" I usually don't care for miso soup, but this was very refreshing and subtle (I've had miso soup elsewhere that is too overpowering in flavor) and felt perfect as the temperatures start dropping. I also ordered the "tarantula" signature roll to share with my friend. The roll is "only" five pieces, but each piece is huge and stuffed with shrimp tempura and softshell crab. The ratio of rice to the "filling" was perfect. Definitely doable for some as a meal alone. To end, this was a great experience and I would definitely come back if I find myself back in the Austin area. And the establishment, as amazing as the food and decor is, is very lucky to have the waitress who served us among the staff.

So so good! I came in specifically to try the uni sushi, which was absolutely delicious with the salmon roe. My favorite bite was the monkfish liver pate nigiri. The waitstaff was attentive and quick, even during a rush.

Never had the sushi here but I'm sure it's good. Their menu has all the Japanese soul food you can crave and desire. Ordering tempura with shrimp is a non-negotiable for our family.

I’ve been here a number of times now and I absolutely love it! If you’re there for lunch get the Komè fries, the wasabi aioli is delicious.

First time here while visiting Austin and I loved it!! I tried their mango avocado roll, midnight sun roll & their vegetarian gyoza’s. Everything was amazing!

Areggio Grill is a Mediterranean and Greek restaurant in central Austin. The atmosphere is interesting, it’s dark and somewhat mysterious feeling, and there is a floor seating area in the corner by the fireplace. Here you take off your shoes and sit on the floor instead of a table. They have a lot of standard dishes like euros, and the lemon chicken and rice soup, and a lot of Mediterranean style appetizers. The portions are decent, albeit not huge, and the food is filling.

I love this place! They have delicious food and a great atmosphere! I love the floor seating. They have a good selection of vegan options. They have vegan pizza! You can get Daiya cheese - personally not my favorite vegan cheese but it’s great they have the option! I got the lentil soup, hummus and tabbouleh! The lentil soup is really good.

This place has great food and a nice atmosphere. The Gyro Sandwich Combo is tasty and filling for the price, and the hummus is fresh and delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough

Great Mediterranean restaurant you order at the counter at lunch time you can make combinations from the different dishes at dinner from the menu. Chicken shawerma was delicious with nice fluffy pita bread To eat, you can sit at the table or at the carpet the traditional way With fare prices is a most to visit

First time here, came during lunch for my break. They have a section were the food is ready to eat and is visible to the guests. Since it is ready to eat it can be fast to get your food. They also have an option where you can order of a menu specific things you want. The service was very friendly and helpful. The gentlemen that was taking our order was very helpful and guided us through how to order. Food was good, try the lamb! They also have Hot tea available if you want to opt out on a cold drink. The ambiance is great and it makes you feel like you’re in their country trying their food.

This an amazing place to eat and chat! I go in for the weekly lunch buffet special. Where I get a healthy/wholesome lunch for under $20. The staff is always welcoming. The lunch is surprisingly fresh with every visit. Their seating is always clean and they even have floor seating for adults to reserve. I plan to make this my typical lunch spot while I go back to school. It's less than 5 minute drive to ACC/ Highland campus/Aveda!

We tried a few dishes and they were all good. The burgers made with gyro or shawarma were pretty good and so were the kabobs. The atmosphere is nice but very basic. Service also rather basic but friendly. #halal

After going to the UT vs Florida game, we were looking for a place to grab some food and drinks. Saw The Tavern had some great reviews and decided to check it out. The place was packed with college football fans and the atmosphere seemed great. We ordered the nachos and the mozzarella sticks as we thought appetizers would be a safe choice with the amount of people that were inside. It took almost 45 minutes to get the food and when it came out, I thought it was a joke. The mozzarella sticks were actually amazing, but these nachos were the most ridiculous nachos I have ever seen in my life. I think Napoleon Dynamite made better nachos than what we were served. It was 3 tortillas cut in half, smeared with refried beans and sprinkled with shredded cheese. If you’re hungry, I’d recommend not coming here while they are busy. If you want beer or drinks, you’ll probably be safe at anytime here. Whatever you do, do not get the nachos, Taco Bell nachos are far superior and way cheaper than this abomination.

Really enjoyed the food here. Solid tavern food and perfect for watching a game. The Tavern Trio had thick, warm chips that I appreciated since I was dipping them in queso and guacamole (hate when chips break while dipping!). The salad was delicious — the corn relish and pecan really add to the salad (I was hesitant about them thinking there would be too much on the salad; I was wrong). Would order that salad again and again.

Came here cuz one of my buddies picked it out. TVs were fine to catch sports. The fries were OK. The chicken fried chicken tasted like it was fried in old oil. The chicken skin was not crispy and very bland. The bacon wrapped wings tasted old and were just not good. The bathroom had this funky off putting smell, I had to walk 3 blocks to use the bathroom at 7/11. The appetizers cost the same as the entrees, so expect to spend $40-50. I definitely would not find myself coming back here again.

Great spot to stop for a drink or watch a game. We ordered the nachos which I was surprised when it came out with six large tortilla chips covered in cheese not your typical nacho plate, but it was still good. Very cool old tavern!

Stopped by The Tavern with the family after a day exploring Austin, great decision. Laid back vibe, solid beer selection, and the burgers hit the spot. My daughter loved the giant pretzel, and the staff was super friendly. TVs everywhere, so I didn’t miss the game either. Classic dad win. We’ll be back.

Stopped into The Tavern recently and was very happy with our dinners. I ordered the bangers and mash, and my wife had the Windy Davis—both were outstanding. I came in expecting typical bar food, but what we got was amazing. The Irish feel of the place made the whole experience even better—cozy, authentic, and full of charm. If I had to nitpick, it’s only that it’s a Kansas City bar (Go Birds!), but hey—when the food is this good, you let it slide. Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend! 🍀🍽️

First time at The Tavern to watch our Longhorns on game day! Excellent environment and the service is top notch! Heather was our server and took great care of our group. Definitely will be back!

The meat was tough and stringy like it had been there for ever. They were out of fries and wings an hour before close which was fine. But there was a huge idle of water on the floor and I put their wet floor sign up. It was my first time trying this place if the lady wasn’t so friendly I would have just left. I think it’s worth giving it another due to the veggie combo being so delicious.

I always try to hit Chi'Lantro when I'm in town as I've been a fan since it started as a food truck. I was a bit worried with the 'new' slick look and wondered if the food had suffered. From my memory, this doesn't appear to be the case and I really enjoyed my K'Pop bowl - straight up. A good amount of heat and solid flavours, so I'd definitely recommend it. It does feel like the menu has been pared back but the famous kimchi fries are still here.

A Korean BBQ Serenade I can get down with. Forget fleeting salads; we're diving deep into the soulful flavors of Korea, kissed with a modern twist. Those kimchi fries? A revelation! Crispy, tangy, a touch spicy – they're the rebellious cousins of your humdrum potato. And the bowls? Picture this: tender marinated meats nestled amongst vibrant vegetables, a harmonious blend that sings on your tongue. It's a culinary joyride, a flavor explosion that leaves you grinning like a Cheshire cat. The checkout is lightning fast, a testament to their well-oiled machine. And the staff? Consistently friendly, like chatting with old pals. Seating? Always a comforting sight, a guaranteed spot in the lunchtime chaos. Four stars. It’s a reliable, flavorful adventure that consistently hits the spot.

I got the buy one get one free deal here for me and my roomate and the food was gone in less than 10 minutes. Gas but could use more meat

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I wish I could give more than five stars! Before I even tried the Chi’Lantro B'Bimbap bowl (#1) I was blown away by the kindness and insight that all of the employees showed me. I had questions about the menu and they were happy to tell me anything. Once they knew I was traveling and in town for business they they made sure to let me know about all of the places to go in Austin whether it was restaurants, the library, or other attractions (Barton Springs). The food was delicious, the combination of flavors incredible! I got a side of the customer favorite Magic Sauce and it didn’t disappoint. I was going to try the Verde Ranch, but it wasn’t ready yet which tells me that they make it fresh. I would definitely recommend this place.

I loved this cute little spot! They have great bowls and good service! I tried the chicken which tasted like honey chicken and he korean bbq which was really good! We surprisingly couldn't finish our bowls so theyre more filling than they look. Their queso is also fabulous!

I have been coming here for months and have gotten to know the staff. Adriana is always very welcoming and enthusiastic! The service, food and staff are top notch! Highly recommend you come check it out.

Best service and respectful the best burgers and and I he all halal come and try

I tried the yummy special burger. It was so good. Come and try it yourself. Very good customer service highly recommended

I came with my friend to downtown Austin for the first time we stopped at yummy burger It was so good The guy was working there. He was so nice. He’s so fast and cook our food very well highly recommended

Really good food here. I absolutely love the wings here. Crispy, fried and seasoned! And they just revamped the new menu. Definitely worth a try in the city!

Real foodtruck for the late night.Sit in your car and enjoy.

I came with my family for lunch. We got burger, burgers, and wings. It was so good yummy special burger and double cheeseburger was the best come and try it yourself my kid love this food truck

We ordered burger from here, and it was amazing. fresh and juicy the staff was friendly and very polite . Must visit this place

Stiles Switch BBQ delivers the full Texas barbecue experience—but what really impressed me was how great the veggie options were too! Of course, the coleslaw with deep flavor and perfect texture. But I was surprised by how thoughtful the vegetarian sides were. The mac and cheese, corn casserole, green beans, and potato salad were all delicious and satisfying. Even if you’re not eating meat, you’ll still walk out happy and full. The vibe is laid-back and classic Texas, and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

Stiles was not really high on my list of bbq places to try but I'm glad I did! I honestly think it's just as good as Terry Blacks or Franklins and there was almost not line to wait in. The pork ribs and burnt ends were really good and the beef ribs were incredible. They had a nice thick crust and they were super tender. The brisket was equally as good as the beef rib. Definitely check this place out.

A favorite among Austin locals for a reason. Best sides in the Texas BBQ scene with something for everyone. This isn’t just your typical cream corn and buttered new potatoes. They’ve got enough variety where even your vegetarian friend who insisted on coming won’t feel left out. Pork belly burnt ends are great. Try the wings if they got em too. Tres leches with marshmallow topping was incredible. Also the staff here is ridiculously nice and attentive. You will feel that hospitality. One of the servers gave an uber driver an extra dessert because she saw they were working hard that day.

Looking for delicious BBQ in Austin without the long wait times? Stiles Switch is absolutely worth checking out. We ordered the 3-meat plate, which comes with two sides. For our meats, we went with the St. Louis pork ribs, Switch original sausage, and prime brisket. The ribs were the standout—moist, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone good. The sausage came in second: well-seasoned with a nice snap. The brisket, while still tasty, was a bit on the dry side for our liking. For sides, we had the serrano glazed Brussels sprouts and mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was forgettable, but the Brussels sprouts were excellent—crispy with just the right amount of heat. We finished with their banana pudding, which was a perfect ending—creamy, nostalgic, and not overly sweet.

At this point I don’t even care to rate about the food . Every staff that I encounter was AMAZING. That alone made the food and this place better. It’s wheelchair accessible. The brisket was hands down my favorite.

OMG. This place is amazing. Drove by accidentally but stopped out of curiosity and we’re so thankful we decided to try it out. Looks unassuming from the outside but step inside and you immediately know you’re going to enjoy the experience. The ambiance is perfect for Texas BBQ. The delicious smells of the food being served is almost too much. The meat is cut right in front of you and the portions are generous. The side dishes were amazingly delicious. Corn casserole and Mac n cheese was to die for. The prices are hefty but the value is definitely there. I couldn’t finish the three meat plate and had to bring brisket home for the next day. The pork ribs were also amazing. The sausage was very tender & delicious. The tables were clean, soda machines have a wide selection but the brewed tea was my choice and it was perfect. The staff was very friendly too. I can’t say enough good things about this experience. We will MOST DEFINITELY return to this bbq joint. You won’t be disappointed if you stop here.

Possibly my favorite BBQ place in Austin. Which is saying alot since Austin is the BBQ Capitol of the world. If you're visiting and looking for good Texas BBQ its a must visit. If I was living in Austin it would be a weekly stop. Their brisket is excellent. Good sides, nice atmosphere and good beer selection.

I was super excited to come try this place. We started w/the oysters and the fried deviled eggs.They were okay. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich and he said it was okay, but not the best he’s had. My daughter ordered the Chicken Caesar salad and really enjoyed it. Her boyfriend ordered the chicken fried steak and l loved it. I had the chicken tenders and waffles. Personally for me the chicken lacked flavor and the waffles were pretty hard and dry, despite a beautiful presentation. We also ordered the S’Mores pie and banana pudding. The chocolate s’mores was way too sweet and rich for my taste, but my daughter and her boyfriend liked it. My hubby and I shared the banana pudding, it looked amazing and delicious, but it had no sweet taste at all. So one was too sweet and one lacked flavor. The overall atmosphere is nostalgic and tucked away from the busy street. Our server was excellent.

If you are ever in south Austin, stop in and eat at Lucy's Fried Chicken. It has a laid-back atmosphere and delicious food. We tried the deep-fried deviled eggs, chicken and waffles, and the drunk catfish sandwich. All were excellent choices. The catfish filet on the sandwich was enough for two sandwiches. It was seasoned perfectly and fried crisp. Chicken and waffles were a hit with delicious tenders and two great-tasting waffles with honey butter.

Multiple items on the menu are amazing. I’ve come here a bunch of times before, but never left a review. Today I ordered the Kinky Club and I absolutely loved it. It’s a large sandwich with a side of kettle chips, which I switched for fries. I could only eat about half of the food, but I’m looking forward to finishing it up tomorrow for lunch.

This was our first timehere and Lucy's did not disappoint. I ordered the chicken and waffles and they were delicious. The waffles were the perfect amount of chewy and crunchy. The chicken was very flavorful. My other only wish is that I had some real maple syrup to go along with this culinary delight. Instead I received a packet of syrup sauce. I ate my waffles dry after my first bite with the sauce was disappointing. Still the meal was good. The cocktails were great and the service was awesome.

Order -Bucket of Chicken (3 out of 5) - chicken sandwich ( 5 out of 5) - onion rings ( 3 out 5 ) salty - fries (4 out 5) - cornbread ( 4.5 out 5) Service was good only the server dropped tea on me and did not apologize but besides that it was good. The bathroom was discussing pee everywhere and was nasty, making me want to throw up after eating there. The restaurant outside smells bad and needs to be cleaned, I guess for Austin is ok standards-wise, would I go back probably not. Even though they had a good pecan pie.

We've been regulars at Lucy's for years now, it has never disappointed. If anything, it has gotten better. First of all, the chicken is phenomenal. The crust is just the right amount of crispy. We always get a bucket even if it is just the two of us. Cold or warmed up leftovers is just fine for us. We are true aficionados of the finest fried chicken. Now, that is just the beginning. Where Lucy's truly excels is in the side offerings. Of course they have a wonderful fried okra, but it's even better when it is paired with the coleslaw. Lastly, if you have any room left for dessert? Just do it. Remember, you can always take it home if you can't finish. Either way, you win!

Lucy’s catering did a phenomenal job at our October 2024 wedding!!! They handled all the setup and breakdown and did everything perfectly and with efficiency. Not to mention they are very competitively priced versus other full service caterers in the Austin area. Cristina was so sweet and easy to work with leading up to our day! She was extremely communicative and patient even when I had a million questions/ menu changes. Most importantly - the food was absolutely spectacular. People still make a point to tell us how amazing the food was and multiple professional chefs who were our guests told me it was “the best wedding food they’ve ever had.” The grilled vegetables were a stand out as well! My husband and I are both foodies but still wanted to honor our Texas roots at our wedding. They helped us craft a menu that was both upscale and true to us. Going to oyster bars and attending oyster tastings was a big part of our dating life and we really wanted to incorporate that at our wedding - which is ultimately why we went with Lucy’s. We had the raw oyster bar for cocktail hour and our guests adored it and we also heard multiple compliments about the shucker on staff. 10/10 highly recommend Lucy’s for your wedding or event!

Wonderful food, have been coming here for years from time to time. Been a while however, since I don't live close to Austin anymore. I think it's kind of sad that they don't include a small basket of biscuits & corn muffins as complimentary table service, I suppose they would blame inflation. It hits us all, but these items are very cheap to produce. I would not let this stop me from going... it's just sad to see the little customer service perks go by the wayside. Meatloaf is marvelous, The greens (with cornbread) are my favorite plus the okra & tomatoes!! Also had peach cobbler pie to take home & it was wonderful. To go containers happily provided- plenty of food for 2 meals for me, at least.

Stopped in and had some honest food. There was no wait and the staff was pleasant. From the website. Hoover Alexander’s passion for food is rooted in Texas soil, inspired by his upbringing on a family farm in Utley. From freshly picked peas and melons to farm-raised meats, he grew up eating what is now called "farm-to-table." Thanks to strong relationships with local farmers, Hoover’s Cooking continues to bring fresh, high-quality ingredients to every plate, honoring the rich traditions of Texas cuisine.

I really wanted to love this place. It was my first time visiting Hoover's Cooking, and it was a special occasion—my father had flown in for his birthday. My sister picked the restaurant because she thought the family-owned feel would remind him of his favorite eatery back home. There were 12 of us, and we were able to reserve the private room, not the main dining area. On the positive side, it was easy to book the private room in person, and it was the perfect space for our gathering. They even let us decorate it, which was a nice touch. Mr. Hoover himself and the host (an older gentleman) were both incredibly kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. I would strongly recommend avoiding the restrooms. The food, which is the most important part, was a huge disappointment. My fish was beyond bland—ketchup only got me a third of the way through it. My father's fried chicken was flavorless, and my mother's yams and coleslaw weren't even edible. My little niece wouldn't touch her grilled cheese. I could go on, but let's just say it was our first and last time dining there. Adding to the poor experience, our two wait staff never smiled once and seemed truly unhappy to perform their duties of taking orders and bringing refills. I really wish we had a better experience because Mr. Hoover was a cool guy, and I am a strong supporter of black-owned businesses. In that spirit, I'd say try it for yourself; maybe our experience was an off night.

So much delicious food to choose from. 12 different dessert selections. The best soul food in the ATX. U better stop by or stop following my posts! 🤠😎

It has been a few years since I’ve had dinner at Hoovers, and I’m so glad I returned. The food is as delicious as always, with generous portions. Our server was super-friendly, and helpful. Plus, the prices are still very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. I’ll be back again soon.

Whenever I am in Austin I try to make it here. Seating was a little slow today but it was okay. The food portions was great as always. The taste was a little under seasoned but not enough to have to add salt and pepper 🤷🏾‍♀️. I will still return and recommend to others.

First time trying Hoover's. Had a great meal. The staff was friendly and the food looked amazing. Thw creamed spinach was the best side I tried. The Jerk chicken sauce had a nice zing. I would reccommend giving Hoover's a try.

One of the Best Experiences in Town! Black Sheep Lodge never disappoints! From the laid-back, welcoming vibe to the solid food and drink options, this place is an absolute gem. But what truly made our night unforgettable was the incredible service from Samantha, our server. Samantha was everything you could hope for—attentive, friendly, and on top of everything the entire time. She gave great recommendations, made sure our drinks stayed full, and brought a warm, upbeat energy to the table. You could tell she genuinely cared about making our experience awesome, and it made all the difference. If you’re heading to Black Sheep Lodge, ask for Samantha—she’ll make sure your visit is top-notch. Can’t wait to come back!

Stopped in here while vacationing in Austin for the weekend. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better time! It was Oktoberfest, and we both participated in the stein holding challenge! I loved the atmosphere. Hope to return again one day!

I love sitting on the outdoor patio. Plenty of tvs and plus that it’s a Packers bar!

Second time here, my goodness the food is still amazing! It’s a dive bar with great food, great alcohol selections, great prices, TVs everywhere to watch sports, outdoor covered seating with TVs outside, pool tables, darts, and great service. Came here with my friends. You have to try the Nashville Dry Rub on your chicken. It has a nice kick, and the honey brings in a nice sweetness. Onion Rings are really crispy. The wings are crispy and perfectly sauced. Fries were great too! They loved it here as well. This is a MUST visit.

Pretty disappointed. I stopped by this place just today and I while o sat at the bar, it took 10 minutes before I decided to walk over to the well area and order a drink. After I got my drink I sat at a bar again, but then when I decided I wanted to order food I had to to the well area again to order. Which is fine if it was busy, but it wasn’t. I then got my food, which was pretty solid. Props to the chef. I then went to the bathroom and when I came back about 5 minutes later, all my food and drinks, which was a full cup of water and half a beer and about half my tater tots left were all gone. So I kinda feel like I was stolen from? I’m only in town for a week from Seattle, so I’ll be taking my business elsewhere than this spot. Weird vibes too

Such a good Austin dive bar! I love the vibe, be warned all the servers are really bad and very salty and with the exception of Hunter who is incredible, and honestly cares about the service you get! if he is there make sure you’re in his section and you’ll have a great time and enjoy his hospitality! Super regular here fyi!

I’ve went 3 times in a month as a new person to Austin. This time Gentleman server seemed annoyed we asked anything, rolled eyes, snickers, and just overall disrespectful. No dialogue. We were the only people on the patio. Burger was good. The margarita was super bitter and not sweet. Don’t ask if they have other margarita flavors then lime, they’ll roll their eyes at you. The second time I went it was 30 minutes we were told 2 times someone would find us at darts. Then they were upset we went to the bar at all to order a drink. Bad attitude as well from multiple workers. The first time my car got booted cause I’m new and there’s NO WHERE to park if anyone is there, also waited almost 30 minutes at the table before anyone came to us, even trying to flag down a server, the margarita was good. Felt more like a tourist attraction that’ll make you wait and not feel all that welcome. I’ll look elsewhere at this point.

Poor quality wings. The flavor was there but the wings taste a tad bit old, as if they had been sitting under the heating lamp all night. Great customer service but the Chilli Cheese Fries was 3/10

I only had a takeout experience here, but it was pretty good. When I walked through the front door, I was directed to the back wall with the double windows to place to-go orders. Once I placed my order, it didn't take long for it to come out. Food: I had Homemade Onion Rings and 15-piece wings with Lemon Pepper, Medium, and Garlic Parmesan. The Onion Rings were thin-cut and lightly battered, but they still had a nice crunch to them, too. The wings were no frills or thrills, but they were classics, so it would be great if someone were craving wings like I was. My favorites were the Medium Buffalo flavor and Lemon Pepper. I liked the spicy and tangy flavors of the buffalo and the sharp tang from the lemon pepper, so those hit the spot. The garlic parmesan was more plain and less flavorful, so it was my least favorite. Overall, now that I have had the wings, I would go back to either more Wings or try the "N' More" part of the menu, lol. They have so many options, and they have Happy Hours. Another customer getting takeout told me their Margaritas were good, too.

This is the place to be period! They have the best Bartender in Mya! And I mean that! Always smiling even when she’s having a rough day, and no one gives better quality service then her! Known her for years and she just gets better and better! Since Yadi is back running the place, things have been even better! 10 stars for me! My number one favorite wing spot! Food is amazing and bar service is the best! Sincerely Ray Boxer🫡🦾💯🔥💙

I’ve been coming to wings n more for over 5 years and the most consistent thing is the service from Mya!! She is always so welcoming, knows my drink order before I even have to ask, and always has a smile on her face. The wings and tenders are always on point, my go to spot for game days and vibes

Not sure why I’ve never gave this place a try, but the wings were saucy, flavorful, and fried hard. I loved how the onion rings were light and crunchy; not too greasy. The music selection was 🔥🔥, just like the wings! Can’t remember our waitresses name, but she was nice and professional. We visited on a Friday afternoon and service was fast. 10/10

I think I waited too long to post this review. I have visited this particular restaurant for about 18 years now. Their chicken tender combo used to be really good all round until recent years. I’ve been disappointed every time I ordered my favorite and today I let them know that this was my last time patronizing them UNLESS there’s changes made. I ‘ll sure miss the nice staff working there.

I love coming here and grabbing a drink. Mya and Ana are the best bartenders in the area. Great drinks and they elevate the atmosphere. Honestly it wouldn’t be the same without them.

Excellent chicken wing restaurant right across the street from the UT campus, near a series of apartments that host UT students. Great food with great flavoring. Lots of spice options from wings with sauce or dry. I tried 3 different kinds and loved all three of them. The fries were also delicious as well.

The customer service I received from Gavi was one of the best I had received at Pluckers! Definitely will be coming back and asking for her. If you’re in this area please stop by, ask for her. She needs a raise with praise! Best wishes to you Gavi! 😊🩷

1st time here, the food was great & fresh, our waiter Gavi was super sweet and provided excellent customer service and definitely needs a raise!! 👏 Future Social worker in the making & definitely shows shes gonna do great once she graduates, Hook'em Horns!

Holy Mac was delicious and they were generous with the cherries in my Shirley temple. Walker had great service and helped a lot!

Best place to watch games and the wings are sooo good especially the spicy ranch. Walker is also the best server he made my time at pluckers smoothly and orders came out accurately.

I had an amazing experience at Pluckers thanks to our server, Yadihra! She was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. Her positive attitude and great service really made our visit stand out. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers — definitely one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time!

I've been stopping at this pluckers for lunch between classes for a while. Every time I leave feeling completely satisfied. A notable staff member was walker, who made me and my company feel appreciated and welcomed.

We came here after hearing that they were going to close for good. This is a nice place to sit and eat and visit with friends. I’ll be sad to see it go. The green beans were really good. And the pain killer cocktail was of course delicious. I got the burger and it was ok. Nothing special. The best thing about dining here is the atmosphere and outdoor areas. Very nice when the weather is good.

Superb open air dining centered around shared tables and bar style seating. Being a dog friendly spot brought us here, but wow were we impressed with the food. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned and craftily balanced together. The watermelon salad is well worth trying, it’s a unique combination. The rabbit & dumplings was (as warned) a little heavy for a hot summers day, the burger was meaty but not greasy. The chicken schnitzel was the delight of the meal and it was actually given to us as a “freebie” to try. Jose, the general manager disguised as a waiter, knew the answer to every question and oozed passion for food and the craft of what they have going on here at Contigo. His recommendations and conversation throughout our meal was super helpful. Did I mention the El Pepino cocktail with a bowl of their fresh spicy popcorn?! All in all, a real gem to have found on our first night in Austin!

I really loved this place! Their gorgeous patio gives it a lovely ambiance. We got there at 4:30 on a Wednesday which was a perfect time to enjoy the happy hour specials for the next few hours. Tried three appetizers (queso, roasted carrot salad, and tempura green beans) and they were all delicious. Tables were spaced apart which was great for Covid precautions and for having a conversation at a decent volume. Service was also outstanding. I'll be back!

The whole outdoor atmosphere was great. Plenty of sitting with lots of space to hang out with friends, grab a nice drink and some food. You can bring your pets because all the tables are outside with the exception of two tables by the bar. The bar has an outside window so you can order without having to go around or wait for a waitress. Menu isn’t that big, but it has fresh ingredients. Went with a group of friends and we all got the burgers because, everything else didn’t sound that appealing to have for dinner, for brunch yes, dinner? Not so much. Burger was juicy and had a good seasoning. We tried the popcorn which was delicious and different and also tried the olives. Service was friendly. Prices were ok. I think is a cool place to drink and have some snacks but not for having a meal.

Our server, Jack, was the best we’ve had anywhere in a long time. In the blink of an eye he returned with guava and regular margaritas. We sat in the covered part. It was a little hot but totally tolerable. We started with crispy green beans and fried cheese curds. My husband and I split the tri tip. It was a little tough but served with corn and cucumber to add some moisture. I liked it. My son had the chicken achiote and he enjoyed it a lot. We ordered the almond joy cookie and homemade granola type ice cream. Def pass on the dessert and save the calories. There is plenty of parking and loads of outdoor space. We will be back.

Full bar with great selection of beer and wine. Some good choices for cocktails. Service was good, but the menu was disappointing. Other than one veggie option and a fried catfish sandwich, every other option was a variation on beef. My tri tips was good, but others in our party were looking for some variety in the mains.

Really decent place. Solid menu, good variety, friendly staff. The bartender didn't know how to make a proper drink, but maybe this was a one off. My dog was able to go with me - Always looking for dog friendly places and this is a good one. Atmosphere outside was really nice, got a burger and the tri tip steak. Chefs presentation was on point and the food didn't disappoint. Tucked away in the burbs, but a nice little joint to go to every now and again. Will return.

Accessibility is almost perfect y’all need to put accessible parking poles on the two spots in front of your door and paint a no parking zone in front of your door because the only accessible spot in your lot is taken by the store next door who is clearly terrible about parking with all the signs. Accessible seating and restroom, yes. Accessible parking lot, no.

Frazier's was great for a low cost brunch. We ordered 3 food items and a bottle of champagne for mimosas and it was less than $40. Definitely want to come back

This place is slammin. After work it’s the best spot to get wings and a frosty beverage, specifically the Coors Banquet on tap is money. The staff is always friendly, even when they’re busy, and they’re busy a lot.

Frazier's is very popular among Industry people and I can understand why. The food is delicious and cheap, the drinks are strong and well made and tbh, it's nice to go to a bar where there aren't kids running around. It is not gourmet food, but it is darn tasty. The McD's style cheeseburgers are amazing and very successful facsimiles, the cheese fries were velveeta style, also delicious, and the wings were spot on also (buffalo and buffalo XXX sauce). We will be back.

from dual pool tables to the jukebox to the photo booth to the great bar service: what's not to love here?

First visit on a late night (9:30 pm) food recommendation. Tried several things, in fact, had a ton of left over food. Hot dog w/ grilled kraut was so good I’m already thinking about when I’m going back. Wings were yummy! All the food was super hot and fresh which was awesome for “bar food.” Cool vibe, great jukebox, friendly and helpful service. More of a bar than a late night food option but we will definitely be back!

Top favorite bar in town, with a great kitchen. They have fresh cooked bar food (none of that frozen pizza roll crap), a good beer selection, and quick/efficient service. They have two pool tables and one table shuffle board, so you can enjoy some game time while you grab a drink. The parking is pretty limited, so expect to search for street parking.

Finally got out to the Gossip Shack to try their chicken wings and they did not disappoint. The only things that could’ve been better are the texture of the waffle, maybe unavoidable since it’s put inside of the to-go container underneath everything else and I guess the steam makes the waffle all soft and floppy it loses its crisp. Also, it’s not real maple syrup with the waffle. I ordered “THE BOMB” flavor wings which is savory/sweet not sure how to describe it but it lived up to its name it is the bomb. I love good onion rings and these are some delicious soft-crunchy battered thick slices of onion. I took a peek at the order before my drive home and was a little underwhelmed at the portion given the price so I was hoping that the quality and flavor would be on point and it certainly is. I’ll be going back to try out more wing flavors in the future!!

here is what you need to know before coming to this location finding it is 80% of the battle and then finding parking but once you accomplish those two things it is so worthwhile as their little hole in the wall family owned and operated they do chicken wings and waffles in one of their highlights is especially on weekends they stay open late for adults to hang out and more also keep in mind it only have one restroom and it is a small location with limited indoor dining area that being said it's more of a pickup to go location with what the owner said was over 50 choices to choose from from your chicken wings count to combined with your signature waffle that they make and that is what makes this place so special and different tried the occasion ring and our barbecuing and a parmesan wing and they also make everything in house even their ranch which was absolutely delicious and went well with all the wings reasonably priced their wings are actually a great value for the bang for the bud cuz they're actually large wings not small wings which is a big big highlight here I want to point out I will definitely be back to twice some of their spicier flavors along with their waffles! also they have things for the daytime for the kids and family which I've highlighted in my pictures including all kinds of little props and things you can take pictures with with the family and enjoy when they're not too busy :) handicap accessible but once again just keep in mind getting here and then finding parking cuz it's a shared parking with like 10 other locations in this little shopping area and makes it a little tricky to get in and out of here but once you can get here and find it so totally worth it and highly recommend it :)

Love this place! Great food and the staff is always welcoming and friendly! Which is a big plus for me. I only ever get the food to go but it looks like a great place to sit down and eat as well. The food is always made fresh, wings nice and crispy. Even their waffles are amazing! Definitely check this place out

Food was amazing! The fried waffle tasted just like a funnel cake 🧇 and the chicken tenders were perfect. Lost a star for not having any water and the lobby had little to no air circulation.(Also recommend the lobster Mac,chicken wings, and dirty rice)

First time here and I got the chicken with the dirty rice and some lemonade. Customer service was on point. I got the spicy Kenya flavor , it is very tolerable it isn’t overbearing with spice so if you like spicy food you will like them. Chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly , dirty rice was also a hit. Nothing to fancy just good dirty rice like grandma a make. While writing this review , my girl said “this the type of shit you close your eyes and eat” she had the fish , shrimp , fries , and hush puppies. I don’t even like hush puppies but I enjoyed theirs. Egg rolls were also fire. Not from out here but would try again.

New to TX so we are always exploring the many restaurants. My husband found this place and we decided to give it a try. Drove about 20 minutes around 1pm on a Tuesday. Not busy at all, but they had several online orders ahead of us. Greeted right as we came in. She asked if we had ever been there before, we said no and she proceeded to describe the food options. She said a lot because there are a lot of options for flavors . We decided on the 6 wing combo, I got dirty rice and my husband got fries. I got garlic parmasean and jerk, my husband got jalepeno CPR and he couldn't remember the other. We also got a waffle on the side and he got banana pudding. The wait was about 20min but All of the food was good! Fresh and flavorful! The cost was typical for what we got. The atmosphere was great, nice chill RandB playing on this day. We will go back! Thanks Gossip!

Ordered for the first time tonight and the wings are way too big. I ordered honey hot and there was no honey hot flavor on them. They aren’t saucy at all. They are full of straight up oil. The dirty rice is good and spicy but the wings are an absolute no.

Gotta love a Steak Frites special, finished off with a compound butter. The Coors Banquet on tap were also tasting fresh. Fun spot if you are looking for a dive bar with an elevated food menu

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere! Me and partner went here for a quick bite after apartment searching all day. They had a $10 deal of a corona and a shot of tequila and it was BOGO burger Monday so you get 2 burgers for the price of one! super great deal and the burgers are pretty big as well! My partner got an amazing chicken sandwich and the sauce in the sandwich was absolutely perfect! sweet and savory! The playlist was absolutely perfect and we will definitely be back!

You walk in and order from the bar and choose to leave the tab open or close out. It's self seating and they will give you a number and bring your ordered items out to you. I ate the deviled eggs and the gumbo. The deviled eggs were so creamy and delicious I only would of added more hot sauce for July liking but they were good. The gumbo was warm and flavorful, it had a lot of green chilies in so it was a little spicy.

This place is one of my very faves in Austin. The food stellar and the bartenders are amazing! Hunter and Gonz go well above and beyond to make people not only feel welcome but make great drinks as well. The playlist is 🔥 too. 10/10 would recommend ❤️

The food here is unreal. I am in the skee ball league that is hosted at The Cavalier and have managed to try everything on the menu and most of the many specials they’ve had since Brewskee Ball moved to The Cavalier and it’s all 10/10. The staff is the best - it’s a really great spot with awesome tunes, great regulars, TVs for sports and niche culture classic movies, unbeatable atmosphere. Love coming here!

We moved from Austin 7 years ago to retire in Mexico. The East Side was always “our area” and the section we called home in Austin. We come back to visit for a month or so each year and so much has changed in this city we love. While The Cavalier was not here when we left, it now welcomes us home each year when we return. It reminds us so much of the old Austin we love! Affordable, good tasting food, fantastic drinks that don’t break the bank and a kind caring staff who make you feel like family! A special thanks to Tom, Mike, Rachel, Charlotte & Hunter! Y’all made The Cavalier feel like our home away from home during our 2025 visit. Your kindnesses, service and great attitudes overwhelmed us this trip! Thanks for helping “Keep Austin Weird” and fabulous! See ya again next year! ❤️ Chuck & Tom

I'm posting a 2nd glowing review bc this place deserves it. So you could go to a bunch of steakhouses in Austin and spend 50+ dollars on a steak plate.... I would go out on a limb and say not only will you spend more money but you may not find as good as a steak that Kate will make you at The Cavalier on a Thursday night only. Prepare yourself for a fat and juicy perfectly prepared NY Strip steak with chimmichurri and butter on top. I hate how good the fries are bc I don't want to eat them and the chefs kiss of the meal is to split the rocket salad as an add on. Drinks were on point as always. Literally 5 star food for a 2 star cost. Keep doing what you are doing Cav- I hope the owners cherish how amazing of a staff they have ❤️

Let me put y’all on real quick—CM Smokehouse is that spot! I’d been eyeing this place forever, and babyyy, the burnt ends and tacos did not disappoint. Straight up out of this world! The flavors were bold, the portions generous, and the hospitality from the staff was the cherry on top. You can tell they care about the food and the experience. Honestly, we might start showing up at Bouldin Acres on the regular just for another hit of CM Smokehouse. It’s that serious.

CM Smokehouse was great! The atmosphere was fun, the service was very fast, and the food was amazing. We ordered food, I got an elk burger and fries which was amazing, and it came out within 10 minutes AND it was super busy. Along with that, the food was so good and priced reasonably for what it was. There was a pickle ball court and a bar if you wanted to have some fun with some friends. Great spot and would high recommend to locals or people visiting!

Great place for a less traditional but still good BBQ! There's a pair of pickleball courts for reservation and a bar area indoors with some arcade games!

This place was recommended by Kill Tony so my wife and I gave it a shot. BIG MISTAKE. Confusing place. Had to ask 3 people (including the bar tender) to locate the food truck, that doesn’t say anything about bbq, to read a sign that says we need to sit at the bar and scan a qr code access the menu. The Menu was sparse and pricey. We ordered the tiniest, most dry, sorry excuse for a brisket sandwich. It was like a brisket slider that they added toppings to in order to give it some sort of flavor. Also, seems like they had Salt Bae in the kitchen over salting everything. Not real texas BBQ. In fact im convinced it wasn’t real at all. On top of everything they slapped a pretty hefty automatic gratuity. Do yourself a favor and go to Terry Blacks instead, its 5 minutes away.

Excellent food and dessert. The ramen is a Wednesday special and definitely worth getting. I've tried a lot of the menu items over several visit and am never disappointed. Wish I lived more south so I can come more often.

Let's start with the bad before the good. First off, I had to ask 3 people if they closed or moved because their food truck located in the front of the building is empty and not used anymore. Tip 1: They use a food truck labeled with another restaurant name in the back of Bouldin Acres. Gringo something. Tip 2: If you want to walk up and order, you can at the bar in the back. Just ask for a menu. Speaking of tips, they add a MANDATORY 20% tip. Tipping is already out of control, but these establishments that charge a mandatory tip with little to no service are highway robbery. You order on your phone, they bring you the food, and there's no communication after that. For a brisket crunchwrap, biscuit sandwich, a kids meal, and a cinnamon roll with 2 soft drinks it was $100 with their mandatory tip. The good: The crunchwrap was above average. The brisket was juicy and the veggies tasted fresh. That said, the $23 price tag was not worth it imo. I'd rather go to a well established BBQ spot and get a brisket sandwich for 25% less that would have more meat and taste even better. The bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was the star of the show. Homemade biscuit was great and everything inside was perfectly cooked besides the egg yolk which was not runny, but more like a yolk of a boiled egg. That didnt deter me or my girlfriend from devouring it though. The coleslaw was also fresh and flavorful. Nice on a hot summer day. The bad (again) The cinnamon roll looked nothing like the videos on IG. There was barely any icing and the dough was a bit hard/tough to chew through. We did come near the end of brunch, but I have been to Cranky Grannys all times of day and their cinnamon rolls are always UNREAL fresh. I hate giving lower stars for reasons other than the food, but the pricing and tip is a bit ridiculous. If we didn't have a kid and two dogs with us, we would've just went to another place to eat. EDIT: The owner says it's not mandatory. I won't be going back to find out, but if it's not, the 20% tip is AUTOMATICALLY applied and is in smaller text to change so its harder to notice... because I didn't. It's sad the owner won't default it to no tip (because I know you can do so) and allow people the choice to tip if they want to.

Great flavorful food, the ribs are excellent! I’ve also had the crunch wrap and burger they were both very good. Bouldin acres has a great atmosphere too.

Want to start off by saying the restaurant itself is very cozy. Choice of booths, sitting at the bar, or a normal table. I’m a sucker for a booth so that’s what I went with. Milo who was my server was most pleasant and helpful with suggestions being my first time here. Had a beer to go along with the pizza and was pleasantly surprised. Initially just ordered a slice of pepperoni but after falling in love with that, and the server giving me a slice of sausage and garlic pizza I decided to take a box back to the hotel. Beer was incredible, pizza was out of this world and as my pops said “best pizza I’ve ever had”. Service was also outstanding and the atmosphere in general is great. Wish I lived here so I could be a regular of the place. Long story short this is the spot to go to if you’re in Austin and want a legit pizza!

Home Slice Pizza 🍕 My favorite NY style pizza in Austin. My cousin’s band Wiretree played here during one SXSW so I have fond memories of that but I have been visiting this restaurant for over a decade. It is a great place to just stop in for a slice. They now have a 2nd location next door so even more capacity. I have always had a great meal here and it is a mandatory stop on my visit. Giant slices and a wide variety of toppings as well. I will add more pictures of the food soon but suffice it to say this is a beloved spot for me when I am in ATX.

If you're craving top-tier pizza, this is the place to be! The food is good, pizza is great and they have one of those mozzarella cheese container things on tables, they also had great dessert but it is filling. Service is solid, the staff is friendly and quick, though during peak hours, you might wait a bit. Still, their upbeat attitude makes up for any delay. As for the atmosphere, it’s dim but I oddly like it, it’s a fun spot whether you’re dining in with friends or grabbing a quick bite. Overall: 4.7/5 — Highly recommend! Home Slice lives up to the hype.

Found the best pizza joint in Austin!!! Pizza was delicious and staff was so friendly made us feel right at home. 8 in this family and they didn't complain about our noise. Great place to eat highly recommended HOME SLICE South Congress. DEFINITELY coming back here when we come back to Austin!!!! Classic pepperoni can't go wrong, margherita pizza finger licking good!!!!

Homeslice came highly recommended, but I found it to be overpriced and mediocre. Pizza is my all-time favorite food, so I consider myself to be a bit of an expert in the field of marinana, mozzarella, and crust. Homeslice is all hype. First, parking is a mess. It's impossible to find a spot in the restaurant's lot, and you have to park way far away in an adjacent neighborhood. It only costs $2 to park, but still a pain. The line for a slice was crazy, but we got in it. They moved the line quickly. Since it was our first time and we wanted to sample several things, we ordered a slice of pepperoni, a slice of cheese, and a small Italian sub. After jockeying for position, we finally got a place to sit after waiting almost 15 minutes. They have seating on an outdoor patio, which has to be unpleasant on hot, humid days. It took a long time to get our order, and we waited nearly 30 minutes after ordering. An employee came out and screamed out name, and we had our noms. Even at first glance, the pizza slices looked disappointing. Not only were they small, but they were clearly lacking enough cheese. So many bites had no cheese at all! Pizza needs plenty of cheese, people! The sauce and crust had absolutely no flavor. It needed some garlic, salt, oregano, something, ANYTHING! The pepperoni was particularly gross. It tasted like a wet dog smells. Barf. It went unfinished. The Italian sub looked good, but was mediocre. The only thing it had going for it was the toasted bread. Other than that, you can get far better sandwiches just about anywhere except Subway. For how pricey this place was, I can't believe the high reviews and ratings. Maybe Austin locals aren't picky about their pizza, but I would never come back to eat here. Ya'll are crazy to think this is a good restaurant.

The crust on our pizza was cooked perfectly, and we liked the amount of cheese. The service we received was good. The garlic knots were tasty, and the garden salad was huge!

Monday evening we were pleasantly surprised to be seated quickly as this place is always busy and for good reason. We ordered a large pizza: 1/2 eggplant (thinly sliced) pizza and 1/2 pepperoni with mushrooms baked to a thin crust perfection (chef's kiss). We shared a large caesar salad that came with a garlic bread knot with an additional order of marinara sauce. Customer service was exceptionally courteous which makes the dining experience even more. The ambience is really nice and spacious. We did go for the gusto and got tiramisu to share and it was worth it.

We’ve been in for drinks before but tonight had time to try out the food. I have friends who rave about them and I finally get it. The kitchen staff are all super cool & make it fun. I liked watching them mess with the tourists. lol. These are the biggest and best quality burgers I’ve had in years. The bread is fresh, burgers cooked perfectly, and toppings are great. We loved the sweet potato waffle fries with Parm on top! The basket was huge and more than enough to share for 2-3 people. We sat in the back patio & it was a nice little oasis where you didn’t feel like you were in the middle of the city. Can’t wait to go back!

Remember to Tip. Even if your order is to-go. It's worth it. The burger is the truth!! I got the Chicago burger!! The simplicity and quality!! Pattie done well and proper, crispy and juicy too. You can cut the burger into twice and it will hold, that says a lot. Absolutely no unnecessary sauce, still tastes heavenly. Also, I got the wings too and honestly. This is the best Buffalo wings I've had!! The simplicity too. No unnecessary breading, the buffalo sauce remains the best I've had! Only regret was not tipping proper!! Will surely make up for it next time I'm in town. It's an easy 9.7/10

We were visiting for a reunion and this was our 'Hair of the Dog' lunch location. We came to the door and noticed a small pup on a leash inside, and since we had a service dog in our party asked if they could get the owner to contain it while we went by. The bouncer helped us immediately and we trooped in to an upstairs location. Even though it was an off time it was slammed and the music was hopping. Pool tables had games running and the kitchen window had a line. A bartender suggested we try the outside patio for a quieter place to nurse our hangovers and wait for food. We set up several patio tables outside and proceeded to enjoy our cold drinks and a quieter environment. The decorations outside definitely didn't match the interior dive bar vibes but both seemed to flow oddly enough. The only suggestions we would have would be to lower music volume a little longer for food orders being called (it was hard to catch names) and add some misting fans outside. Thanks for treating us to some amazing burgers and brews! It was a treat!

The quality of this burger is unrivaled. The beef itself tastes so fresh and delicious that the toppings are a just a side note, although still equally fresh and delicious! This was my first time back in years and I was so pleasantly surprised that nothing had changed! 🙌 Still delicious, still badass, still authentic Austin. Love this place.

The BEST burger I’ve had in such a long time and dare I say in my LIFE? What a wonderful day this was to experience something so wonderful. If you’re coming to Austin, take some time to visit, it’s worth it.

Casino El Camino is an Austin Legend. Right on 6th Street in the heart of everything — but far enough down that you can actually get parking. Huge win. The vibe? A heavy-metal, dimly lit, Austin-weird kind of bar. Totally unique atmosphere. Don’t let it fool you though — the FOOD is what makes this place world-class. The Spicy Burger is unforgettable. Juicy, bold, dripping with flavor. One of the best burgers on planet earth. The Spicy Fries with tomatillo sauce? Beyond belief. You’ll want to lick your fingers clean and order them again and again. My friend flew in all the way from London, and the FIRST spot he wanted to hit was Casino El Camino. We had gone here during my wedding celebration years ago, and he remembered it so vividly that it was top of his list. We ended up coming TWICE during his short stay because it was just that amazing. This place never misses. Burgers = Epic Win. Fries = Game Changer. Atmosphere = One of a Kind. Always a 5 Star Experience

Love it here! Vibe is awesome, they play old crazy movies and music is great. Their food is incredible, love the burgers Great low key spot on 6th compared to everything else around!

This is definitely a new favorite! I’m already excited to try this restaurant again! We went for a birthday lunch and the service was amazing! We were a party of 7, and the service was attentive and fast! Because it was my birthday, I also received a complimentary dessert-for my whole party!

A quick bite before we headed east. This place was AMAZING. The service, the glassware, the tea, the water... all of it was impeccable. Sorry, food was too good we ate before I snapped pic. Presentation was GORGEOUS. They even only had green tea hot so I asked if they could shake it over ice for gee and VIOLA, done with a smile on their faces. This is a place where hospitality MEANS SOMETHING. The check presenter was a sardine can y'all.... how funny!

We didn’t have a reservation so we were lucky enough that the bar had open seats! Ordered the pork belly buns and umami chicken wings and could have easily eaten those the whole night!! So good!!! We came in hungry and left more than full! Would definitely come again and recommend to everyone!

Really awesome brunch with really awesome people at a really awesome reunion. The omelet was good. There was noodles and pork and some veggies inside wrapped in an omelet. I ate other people’s food too because it was right after an early flight and they all tasted good too: French toast with Nutella, French toast with avocado, kimchi rice, breakfast bowl, scallion puffs.

Father's day dinner experience. My son took me to the Burnet location this past Sunday for a treat. I had not been there for years, and it was a nice food surprise. Due to the "tortilla" in their name, I assumed it was a Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurant. My bad. Food: Their food is a fusion of Asian flavors with a Southern twist. What an interesting and original concept. And they deliver. I had their BBQ pulled pork tacos and the bacon jam fries. Both were a pleasurable mouthful with a touch of sweetness. Besides that, my son treated me to a cocktail. I added sparkling water. For dessert, I tried their intriguing banana, Nutella fried spring roll with a side of whipped cream. 3 bites of crunchy outside filled with warm, creamy banana pieces with a sweet touch of Nutella. A well balance, not too sweet, perfect dessert for me. 5 stars for taste and originality. Service: Our waitress was very Southern with her "y'all" and "honey" language. She was also very efficient and a great sales lady. She knew her menu upside down, and her descriptions were very convincing. 5 stars to her. Atmosphere: Nice decoration, a little outdated but warm and inviting. 4 stars. All in all, it was a very pleasurable evening. Thank you, Peached Tortilla. Chef Alain Braux

Brunch was extremely mid. Probably the worst brussels sprouts i’ve ever had — extremely dry and flavorless. The char siu pork had absolutely no flavor and the korean hangar steak was served more rare than medium rare. I think their standard lunch menu is a bit better. Overall, I can see some people thinking this place is good but if you’re asian or like asian food, do not come here lol. The service was great though!!!

We went to The Peached Tortilla for a birthday and had a wonderful experience. The staff was warm and thoughtful, making my wife feel special. The food and drinks were excellent, with generous portions. We especially enjoyed the kimchi balls, brisket taco, banh mi taco, laksa bowl, and pork belly bowl. They even surprised us with a tasty ice cream dessert, which was a perfect way to end the meal. We’ll definitely be back!

Overall neat little spot with a good variety of selections for food and drink. In the bottom floor of the high rise building with multiple places to eat including tacos, sushi, Venezuelan, bowls, shwarma and a couple of bars as well as coffee. There's a nice little outdoor area that's nicely shaded as well. The food was great the atmosphere is nice as well.

A friend and I went specifically for Taco Pegaso in the food court. Everything we got was awesome and I would love to go back. One of the guys there was super cool and brought out our food trays to our table nearby instead of shouting our name to pick it up. Later he was going out of his way to find some girls makeup brush that was left at his counter. Haha. Not ours but really sweet he tried asking around.

If you’re looking for a variety of fresh food in downtown Austin, go to Fareground Austin! All of the food options are quality, fresh, diverse, delicious and priced right. Plenty of space for seating with small groups of friends and they have an outside lawn with more seating. The service is great and consistent throughout all the food booths and bars. They also have live music on the weekends with great local bands. Cleanliness throughout the whole space.

Needed a quick dinner before an evening activity so we came here for food. Liked that there was multiple options for everyone to pick something different to eat. At first it was unclear whether all the food spots were open since it was after work hours and some looked closed. I got the chicken shawarma and really enjoyed it. Great place for a quick bite to eat that isn’t expensive

Perfect little spot to stop by if you’re ever in the downtown Austin area! Sort of a cafeteria style vibe - they have quite a few food options that you can choose from. From Venezuelan to Rotisserie chicken! I wasn’t able to try their food options today, but I’ve heard great things. Their service today was wonderful! The bartender was very helpful and friendly!

Fareground Austin is a foodie’s playground — so many great options under one roof! Whether you’re craving tacos, sushi, or something sweet, there’s always something new to try. The atmosphere is lively but comfortable, and it’s perfect for groups or solo dining. It’s the heart of downtown food culture done right.

This place is really cool. It was such a nice day to sit outside and eat. My partner got a free cocktail for her birthday. We both enjoyed our meals, however I do not like the gyoza w/ the beef filling. The pork gyoza was yummy. My partner enjoyed her birria tacos and said they were top notch. I’d definitely come here again. Also, parking nearby wasn’t badly priced. 6$ a hour. Due to visiting from out of town, I appreciated this. And Lake Austin is within walking distance.

Went in for lunch to specifically have their Kimchi Fries, which I had in the past. Ordered Kimchi fries with added beef. Fries were nice and crunchy, full of flavors. Overall very good. It seems like portion was much smaller than when I had it the past. $14 for fries and I'm still hungry. Their bowl looked much more filling. Restaurant was clean, staff was very gracious. Just seems very overpriced - probably won't come back.

Incredible Korean BBQ & Rice Bowls! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** This restaurant is a must-try for anyone craving bold flavors and fresh ingredients! I recently tried their Steak Rice Bowl and it was absolutely phenomenal. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned, the rice was fluffy, and the veggies were so fresh. The vibe was great, and the service was warm and attentive. If you’re looking for an authentic, satisfying, and flavorful meal, this place won’t disappoint. Already planning my next visit—10/10 recommend! 🌎✨

Fries were hot and crispy, seasoned to perfection with perfect blend of ingredients. Adrian was friendly and cordial making the experience top notch!

Me and my boyfriend have been supporting this restaurant for many years. Food is great quality ,great pricing and portion sizes. Today the customer service was top tier. They were super busy. However management was so kind they hooked up our order even thought we didn’t expect it. We tipped very well for being so grateful. Being vegan we love having fresh and healthier options to enjoy. 100/10 would recommend. Also best tofu and marinate I’ve ever had.

They were on lunch drop this week and I finally broke down and ordered! I got a Ssäm with Carnitas and loaded it up with veggies. I ordered the carrot ginger dressing and dipped each bite. Super yummy! They loaded it up so full I almost didn’t need dinner. Plus, everything was so fresh and they didn’t skimp on anything. So glad I finally tried Chi’Lantro. I will definitely eat here again. I actually have one walkable from my apartment so I may be in trouble! There goes my food budget. 😬🤣

Great food! Very friendly service. Clean restaurant.

I order from app and pick up at SOLA location. Counter staff always very nice. App provides for rewards such as free bowl after you order 9 bowls and various other promos. I go for the glass noodles as a base for K-pop chicken with loads of goodies I select, occasionally topped with fried egg. Tried dumplings last night and loved them atop my bowl. Easy to park.

I tried this place first time today with a very high expectation, but I was very disappointed with the food.☹️ The clerk was very polite and friendly. He is great. I had a hot & sour soup, it’s also great, I like it. But, the dragon noodle was…”not good”. I really don’t like the taste and flavor if it has any.😕 I was so confused because the combination of veggies and meat should be ok, but why it tasted so bad? My answer is the sauce. This dish could be super good if they just use regular soy sauce and red chili. The sauce should bonds the flavors of the ingredients together, but sadly it does not. Super flavorless, only tomato sour, hot and spicy on your tongue. And they put in the noodle at the very end of cooking, making it even more flavorless. They should put the noodle into the wok and pan fried it with the veggies and meat for a while before adding any sauce or soy sauce, so the noodle has time to absorb the flavor of ingredients and wok. This should be one of the basic rules of making Asian dishes. 😑 Anyway, I don’t recommend the dragon noodle. I might try something else next time.

Hungry for straight up Chinese and this place was recommended by a local retailer. Good lunch special selection. Hot and sour soup was delish. Large portion of Mongolian beef with mediocre fried rice. Good egg roll. Spoon had dried/caked on food on it, YUK Will explore other places in the area next time.

Beaware! looks like the sanitation is the issue in this place. The sprite on the fountain looks like there is mold growing inside the sprout. So I swapped to can sprite and then my noodles had roach or some kind of bug, I only saw it once I was almost at the end of my bowl. 🤮🤢.

This unassuming Asian restaurant was a pleasant surprise! My friend did not want to go here because the name meant something else in another language but she joined me under protest. I think the name means Uncle in Chinese. This is an order at the counter restaurant. Kristi was working front of house. She helped my vegetarian friend decide on her choices, patiently explaining the dishes, answering all questions and making suggestions. The lunch specials run until 2:30 everyday...choice of appetizer and entree. My friend ordered the Black Bean entree with tofu and substituted some vegetables plus egg drop soup. I had the Serrano Black Bean entree with chicken plus hot and sour soup. Both entrees were generously tasty portions. I viewed a few other plates which also looked delicious. I will definitely be back for more! Reminder - Make sure to tip when ordering or at the table as some refrain from doing so at counter order restaurants. Kristi happily took our order, brought our food, checked on us, bussed our plates and cleaned up afterwards.

I used to drive over an hour to get food here cause it was amazing. My husband and I picked up to go. I had the Singapore noodles- it tasted like the noodles were boiled in old water or something. The texture of the noodles weren’t the best and the overall taste wasn’t as yummy as I remember. My husband had the sesame chicken and he said it tasted like it was cooked with something else and the chicken was very chewy. Very disappointed in our meals. Also, just saw the roach post from a month ago and we will most likely never come back.

Finally!!! A good Asian food spot that I can definitely see myself going to often. SUPER Fresh food. Food was amazing ugh!!! I can't thank them enough for how good it was but it was. I personally had their, Sesame chicken and crab rangoon. My bf enjoyed their mediterranean plate and it was so... good. Eggrolls were bigger than expected but over all everything we had was super good. For being my first time trying them I was not disappointed.

It was our first time trying this place out and i do NOT regret it. Great music playlist, Very delicious and the man at the cashier was super friendly and very informative with the menu. Great portions and fresh. 10/10. I will come back and bring my family.

Fun, trendy interior with plenty of seating. I was a little disappointed to see how empty it was on a weekend around lunch time. The pho broth is delightfully beefy and I like how they use the thicker noodles here. It was also nice to see that they use Thai chilis for the pho instead of jalapenos here. The portion sizes, for the most part, are great. However-- I feel like the spring rolls are a bit on the pricey side ($9 for 2 spring rolls). I do, however, appreciate that their spring rolls are not 95% noodles. I like how Le Bleu has vegetarian options that felt satisfying to eat. Shout out to whoever's playlist was playing. They have great taste. I wouldn't say it's my favorite spot for Vietnamese food. I did enjoy my experience here, so I will be coming back to try more things on the menu.

Stopped in for a quick snack with a friend. We had the chicken pho, bahn mi and some roasted corn ribs. Everything was yummy and they split the portions for us. Which was perfect. Will be back.

Well I ordered my food Togo. This does not look 2 lbs potato was not cooked & they forgot to add my sausage & I got charged for it. I got mango salad it’s to sweet. I don’t recommend not to order your food Togo & definitely make sure I get everything u order. This was not worth $60 & I also tip. I guess I’ll try something else but will dine in next time.

We’ve been coming here for 2 years now. My wife is vegetarian and she loves the vegetarian Pho. I’d like to order their grilled pork Bahn Mi no cilantro with egg. :)

You must get their octopus skewers! It’s a little pricey and came with 3 of them but the tentacles were crispy and the body was juicy and slightly sour with the sauce! I might come back just for that. I also tried the salt and pepper shrimp which was good and their OG banh mi. I like the pate that was in it.

I love this place. It's good, consistent, and priced right. The place on South First is not as good as Le Bleu in my opinion. It's overpriced and overcrowded. If you want delicious food, support a local mom-and-pop, get down to Le Bleu, and go often. The whole menu is worth a try. I can't pick what's my favorite because it's all so good. They also have cocktails. Check it out, you'll thank me.

My boyfriend was craving bánh mì. After a quick, yelp search, we identified Le Bleu as having some of the best in town. The OG banh mi did not disappoint. Perfect bread, meats, and crisp and tasty veggies. We also tried the beef pho which was very tasty as well good portion in value, they have some fun cocktails as well as happy hour. Dessert was also great. We had an Ube tiramisu which our server told us the owner makes at home. Another great surprise was they make their own homemade chili hot sauce, which is delicious. Super friendly service. We can't wait to come back.

When we visited Austin, I had really wanted to try this place based on reviews and menu items. When we got there we were sadly told that they had run out of everything except tater tots. So we ended up just having the tater tots (both tingly and the normal ones). The sauce with the tingly tots is delicious! So spicy but flavorful. One of the best tots I have had. I came back to Houston and had my husband was coming back a few days later so told him to grab it on the way back to Houston. The food survived the 3 hour drive and still tasted pretty decent. I will be honest, I had more expectations from the chicken sandwich but it wasn’t a wow. The pickle chips definitely added a good flavor but it lacked the spice kick. I would rate it a 3/5. Tots as usual were very good. Also ordered the nuggets which were decent. Maybe my experience would have been different if I would have eaten there prepared fresh but I was expecting the sandwich to be in line with Urban Bird or Tumble 22 spice level.

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝟓 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬. Yeah, look no further when it comes to fried chicken. There is not a box this place does not check. You MUST get the spicy tater tots, they are flaky, moist on the inside, and packed with flavor. The chicken is well seasoned and juicy. The heat levels are available for people who don’t need a lot of spice to heat lovers. I came to this place on a Saturday evening after a bar crawl and this was the perfect way to end cap the night. Highly recommend, don’t miss this one.

5 stars for everything. Pics don’t look like much, but please trust me to read on. I don’t post reviews, but had to for this insane flavor bomb. It’s a food truck, yet you can get picnic seating outside or indoor air conditioning inside St Elmo Brewing, if needed. The Tangy Gai was the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. It achieved what everyone else struggles to, an immaculate balance between sweet, salty, vinegary, fatty, and spicy. It was like the balance of earth before global warming, and they captured that in a chicken sandwich and delivered it to my mouth. I ordered one, and some delicious nuggets. Had a few beers and went back to order another. I am addicted and can’t get enough. I’m coming back for that goodness that Darcey serves up; it’s absolutely incredible! If you want more than fried chicken between two buns, and you wanna be taken on a culinary journey, get action here. Full stop. Flavor stimulation and orgasm of the culinary experience.

Honestly, it was an accident. TLDR = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thai inspired fried 🐔 🥪! I pull right up to the window on my electric scooter -Tina- ( we don't talk about her size only how fast she is ) like I actually know what I am doing, and I straight up try to order a burger combo! The gentleman behind the counter - with a nearly imperceptible hint of disappointment - informed me that I was not at the "burger place". Well folks...... I tell you, it had been a long day, I was deprived and dang near deranged, and ole Tina's battery was right on the brink of 50%. I cast a glance over my shoulder towards the indicated establishment and instantly decided what I really wanted was some fried chicken. Because the other spot was looking like a liminal space. Not yet completely convinced... we started going over some menu options; you know, because at this point.....I dont even have a clue where I am, let alone what I want to eat. My courteous and observant server skipped no beats, got me oriented with grace, and I quickly realized I was not at just some rando fried chicken truck. We got my order banged out, no thanks to me obviously. Everything sounded too real to be perfect, you dig? It was like one rung up the mind-blow ladder after the next. Tots were suggested, and agreed upon, spicy pickles were almost overlooked, crises averted. My dinosaur of a card ( sorry dinosaurs, that was cruel ) was painstakingly keyed into the system manually by my ever patient and covertly stoic server. What felt like an easy 12 - 16 minutes ( 3 hours faster than my struggle to craft this train wreck - sorry trains, that was cruel ) later, my order was received. Upon close inspection - solely to grade the packaging in preparation for transport - I noticed a few tots. This is where it gets interesting. These were no ordinary tots. My level of interest in the meal went from a 4-5 to about a 9. It was that kind of tot. They were in fact next-level tots, as the kids say. On top of showing the hallmarks of true quality, my OG Chicken Sandwich was assembled with exceptional presentation. Its wrapping was clean and attractive, and clearly labeled. My side of spicy pickles was perfectly sealed in a high grade container, and not a drop of brine was shed. My tots were so enticing both aromaticly and esthetically it was difficult for me to believe this had all been an accident? If you want chicken? Heck, it's all over ATX, take your pick. If you want a truly gratifying meal with flavors and pairings that folks actually put the care in to accomplish? This grub is worth your time. I am so glad I did not turn my back on Spicy Boys and stick to my orginal plan for burger. I made a dumb mistake, but... what I ended up getting was a meal with five star complexity, quality pairings and accentuated flavors ( not just in my sandwich but literally every item I ordered ) for under $20, from a small business in my neighborhood, with big backyard vibes. Huge thanks to y'all for this incredible first experience. I will be back again. And with purpose. My apologies to anyone still reading, it's been a long day. Peace, love, and chicken grease my fried friends. More than a nugget, this one was.

This place was busssssyyyyy tonight, they were the one of very few food trucks open and they killed it! Had the best hot maple chicken nugs and the roti with curry. Insanely good! Like the sweet and salty and savory and everything delicious were those nugs!!!! Worth the wait, and they were an efficient machine cranking out delicious food

Oh. My. Lord. I consider myself a connoisseur when it comes to chicken. And, this place melted my heart. I went for the spicy tots and the spicy nuggets. Both were epic. I'll look forward to my next visit, for real. Next time I'm ordering the whole damn menu lol

Spicy Boys is downright delirious—in the best way possible. I ordered the OG sandwich (and, okay, maybe another one too), and both were pure flavor chaos in the best sense. The chicken was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat, and the slaw balanced it out with that sweet, cool crunch that hits just right. If you’re on the fence—jump off and run here.

The staff is very friendly and there to accommodate. The menu needs to be written better to make it an easier read.The magic rice was good but the cajun curry dish was made perfect. Ask for extra spicy. Nice and clean restaurant.

I got the magic Cajun rice. Crawfish and added sausage. I could literally count on one hand how many pieces of crawfish was in it. The flavor was there. But for $17 it's a no go. Alot of rice. SMH!!

used to love this place, especially their Salt and Toasted Shrimp — it was always flavorful, crispy, and well-seasoned, thanks in large part to the tall manager from 2021 or 2022 who clearly knew how to run the kitchen. Unfortunately, the quality has gone downhill since his absence. Over my last five visits (both dine-in and delivery), the shrimp has gone from my favorite dish to something I can barely recognize. What used to be a perfectly seasoned dish with crisp veggies like peppers and onions has turned into plain, greasy fried shrimp with zero flavor and no vegetables. It’s honestly frustrating — the seasoning is completely off, and it looks and tastes like it was cooked in old oil. I kept giving them chances, hoping it was just a bad day, but today was the final straw. If anything, with rising prices, I’d expect the quality to remain consistent — not deteriorate. I’m taking a long break from this place. I hope they reevaluate their kitchen standards and possibly reconnect with the leadership that made them great in the past The first pic is what you get today, the second pic is what you USE to get

As soon as I came in and was eyeing the drink menu, the staff started to suggest different drinks that they loved! I love that kind of service! Also, I love that they have customizable boils, with a list of things you can add on!

Wow, this is a hidden gem! Prices are so reasonable. I had the awesome garlic noodles it’s a must-have! We tried the cheesy seafood rolls 10/10 everything was so good and we had great, fast service, certainly will be back to try their seafood boil.

I was really looking forward to trying La Crawfish after hearing good things, but unfortunately, my visit left me disappointed and frustrated. We ordered a dozen oysters, specifically 4 Korean BBQ, 4 Japanese Yuzu, and 4 Thai Chile. What we received were 12 plain oysters with only lime and Valentina hot sauce on the side—not at all what we ordered. When I went up to the register to politely ask about it, the young man behind the counter just looked at me and said, “Is something wrong?” I explained, “Yes, we ordered flavored oysters—Korean BBQ, Japanese Yuzu, and Thai Chile. There’s no sauce on them.” He just stared at me for a moment and then said he’d go ask the cooks. A few minutes later, he came back to tell us that those sauces “weren’t made yet.” This was at 6pm on a Friday night—peak dining time—and somehow the kitchen wasn’t ready with any of the featured sauces? No one warned us when we ordered, and we were just served plain oysters as if we wouldn’t notice. That’s incredibly disappointing and honestly feels like a lack of respect for the customer. We were offered a refund only if we returned the oysters, which made it feel like the burden was on us even though the restaurant dropped the ball. Overall, there was no real apology, no effort to make it right, and certainly no hospitality. La Crawfish may have a fun menu, but based on this experience, they seriously lack preparation and customer care. I won’t be going back.

DO NOT GO HERE. I spent $92 (including a tip) on King crab legs and sausage. Not only did they have the audacity to bring out snow crab legs, it was maybe one cluster of legs…? When I spotted the difference I asked for a refund because what I ordered was not delivered and then proceeded to deal with a rude associate. I mean who in their right mind pays $92 for a single cluster, half a sausage and the wrong freaking food??? Did not even touch the food they prepared and they could not correct the situation. Worst customer experience I have EVER HAD IN AUSTIN. I will NEVER go back to this restaurant - it’s a joke of an establishment

First time visiting and service was cool the environment was nice, happy people enjoying food. In my opinion the food was a NO GO! Everything I ordered was unseasoned, no touch of soul was added at any point. Oyster’s was decent I give it a 5 . My waitress was kind and helpful. Don’t recommend if you like, love seasoned food

Deckhand Oyster Bar is a must-visit for fresh, flavorful seafood in Austin! The service is super friendly and welcoming, which made our experience even better. We ordered the huge raw oysters plate—fresh and perfectly chilled—along with a rich cup of seafood gumbo, steamed shrimp, crispy calamari, and golden hush puppies. Everything was delicious! Surprisingly, the buffalo bone-in wings were a standout too—packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. Great food, great vibe—we’ll definitely be back!

If you've never had Deckhands you in for a true treat. Food portions are large which is a win in my book. But the flavors of literally EVERYTHING on the menu are Freaking FANTASTIC! The fried platters are always cooked perfectly and have a true unique flavor. Their Asian infusion throughout the options standout in the best of ways! Ive tried multiple plates and have yet to have a single bad bite across the options. I could eat here once a week and never get burned out! *I've been to both locations but the one on South Lamar has changed owners and the name is now Ocean Blue. So you're best bet is the Deckhands up north off Louis Henna.

Sat outside even though it was a bit hot. The waitress told us it was quite noisy inside. Service was pretty good. The food was tasty and the ice tea was plentiful. Caution if ordering the fried rice: The portion is enormous. You'd best be hungry or have 2-3 friends to share.

I really love the papaya salad here, so every time I visit Austin, I make sure to stop by this restaurant. The oysters are very fresh, and the crawfish tastes great as well. I visited around late March, so the crawfish were still small. I highly recommend coming during the peak seafood season for the best experience.

Great food. Friendly staff. Vast menu. Service friendly and delivery was quick. Clean inside and out, with seating inside and out as well. Big bar with loads of drink options. Seafood galore. Fine Oysters and delicious shrimp. Definitely worth the trip.

Hands down the best Pad Thai I've ever eaten. And I've eaten that at many places. Balancing sweetness with spice is a difficult thing to do. Deckhand does it just right. The crawfish had a distinctive asian flavor. Come to find, the owners are Korean. Very flavorful.

This place was great! It was a pretty busy joint, which meant for a wait and tight seating. But the outside patio atmosphere and good service made up for that! Definitely suggest the queso. My friend got the chicken fried steak, I chose the meatloaf– both with green beans and mashed potato sides. The meat loaf sadly wasn't the best I ever had, without the gravy it was borderline dry. That being said, the green beans and mash were well seasoned and delicious! The white gravy on the chicken fried steak was fluffy and creamy, and the breading was crispy with great texture. I tried to steal more of her food than just a taste because I liked it more than my meatloaf, haha. I'd go back for that!

The food is good and the staff is friendly. Every Thursday night from April till September they have unplugged live music which makes the place very special. ---------------------------------- My star rating legend: Excellent / Exceptional ☆☆☆☆☆ Very good / Special ☆☆☆☆ Above-Average ☆☆☆ Below-Average ☆☆ Something is wrong!? ☆ ----------------------------------

Nice little place right on Barton Springs. You have the option to dine either inside or outside both of which have great views. I chose to dine inside and had the bacon cheeseburger. It was very tasty and well seasoned. The waiter Joe was very friendly and willing to serve. If you're looking for a casual place to come eat out this is definitely a place to check out.

Fun environment with live music. Drinks are great. Lots of drink specials. Friendly staff. Overall food is mediocre at best. Great sounding options, but all taste rather bland. Overall a fun Austin experience but food quality can definitely be found at many other places.

The food was good and there was a great variety. Limited beer selection considering where they are. My son and I split a cheese burger and onion rings, they did not agree with us and we both had upset the rest of the night, but the rest of our party was fine. I would try it again.

Wow, what a great place to go for great food, drinks, and fun. The bacon cheeseburger was great! The Bloody Mary was delicious and had a neat presentation.

Shady Grove is one of my favorite places to go for lunch. The service is great and the patio is quite nice. My favorite thing to get is the chicken Cobb salad. I love all the avocado and fresh veggies! If salad isn't your thing, you should try the burger and onion rings.

Took an hour to order food and another 30 minutes for food to come out. Came in for unlimited wings promo. Was charged full price for 30 wings. When asked what the reasons were for the full price charges, they claimed that the promo only was for 10 wings at a time in the fine print. Here is what the fine print entailed: “Dine in only Mon, thru Thurs. at particip. locs, for a lim. Tax & fees (inclServ.) extra. May not combine with other discounts or offers. Upcharges may apply. Lim. 1 per person/per order. Sharing prohibited and will void offer. Leftovers may not be packaged "to go." TM & © 2025.Buffalo Wild Wings” Manager was not helpful in resolving the matter and blamed slow service on being short staffed (couldn’t handle a dozen tables). If you enjoy a mismanaged restaurant, misleading promos, long waits on food and even longer waits to order, this is the place for you!

If you're heading to Buffalo Wild Wings and want to have an amazing experience, make sure you sit at the bar and ask for Alissa!!! Not only is she incredibly friendly and welcoming, but she also makes some of the best drinks I've ever had. You can tell she takes pride in her work! She is always attentive, fast, and knows how to keep the vibe just right whether it's game night or a casual hangout. It’s rare to find someone who’s equally skilled and personable, but Alissa really stands out. 10/10 would recommend!! Bdubs is lucky to have her behind the bar!

Nicole always takes great care of my friends and I usually other days than Thursday but no matter the day she is on top of her game. Best buffalo location in Austin and surrounding area by far!! Keep up the great work!!!

Absolutely degusting, made me wait 20 minutes and still gave me old wings, with seasoning at the bottom. Three phone calls later, they tell me I can't get my money back. I paid cash,my refund should be cash. I Will NEVER return to Buffalo Wild on Parmer Lane

: Terrible service. I ordered two burgers, two Pepsis, and a beer, and later requested two portions of cheese, which never arrived. From the moment I got there, the place was very disorganized, I wasn’t given straws or napkins, and I had to wait over 30 minutes just to get the check. When I finally received it, they were charging me for the cheese I never received. After complaining, it took another 10 minutes to get the corrected bill with my change. I asked to speak with the manager, and her response was simply that “there was a party” and that “the cheese had already been removed from the bill.” Very poor experience; the staff was inattentive and disorganized, and management offered no real solution.

Food arrived 2 hours late and missing all sauces and side items. Waste of time

I visited today to cheer on Ohio State and the bartender Alissa was absolutely amazing. Never had to wave her down for anything. She made everything about my experience perfect!!

I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed the atmosphere. This time stopping in I noticed the bartenders were so hostile and unfriendly? I don't expect much I mean its a dive bar but they were straight up rude. Maybe we caught Rachel and Nick on a bad day..

Wow! Love this concept. My gf and I are huge Christmas season fans, so not only do we get to go somewhere as the holidays approach, we can also get that hit of nostalgia all year Staff was Very friendly, the bartender even shook my hand and introduced himself Price was above average for Austin on this side of town, about $10 for a draft hazy IPA. If it was a few dollars cheaper I could see us coming here more often (which would actually lead to more money spent in total… their loss) Parking was Nerve-racking. Pay Close Attention or you Will Be towed/ticketed This was in my bookmarks already to go, but I accidentally landed next door on another bookmark for Pedroso’s pizza next door (excellent pizza!). So that’s a great combo. They’ll even deliver to your seat at the bar! Atmosphere and service = 5 stars Price and parking = 3 stars Overall = 4 stars

Had a blast, bartenders were friendly and kind. The atmosphere is fun and quirky. The other patrons were super friendly as well! One of my favorite bars in Austin (Loved the photo ops too)

The staff is friendly and I love how "normal" and comfortable this bar feels... despite the completely chaotic decorations. I don't even like Christmas and I think this place is awesome. The vibe is really chill and not uptight and sterile like some local bars can be.

I love the vibe of this place. It was a spontaneous stop on my weekend and I’m happy I took the time. Drew behind the bar was amazing and super friendly. Chatted with a couple of patrons while sipping on a delicious eggnog for a little holiday spirit.

Great year-round Christmas themed bar that is a taste of old Austin vibes. Can get busy on peak weekend hours, but I love coming for an early weekend birthday hang, or drinks after work. Their T-Shirt game is solid. Support your local watering hole!

I never write negative reviews. Just the worst bar I’ve ever been to and I’ve lived here my whole life. I gave this place 3 chances and that’s enough for me! The staff are extremely unprofessional and rude, I’ve never been treated like this at any other bar. On my very first visit, they accused me of having a fake ID… I just turned 21 and didn’t have a chance to get a nonvertical ID yet. Turn me away if my vertical ID was simply the reason, but don’t lie straight to my face and tell me my ID isn’t legit. The door guy and bartender were very aggressive. Every other time I’ve gone there the staff are just unpleasant. The people who work here aren’t very bright!! Go anywhere else for a drink.

Thoroughly enjoyed all the menus we ordered. Loved the special salt mixture that complimented the ATX Tempura. The Paitan Ramen and Spicy Paitan Ramen actually had a very different flavor, would recommend trying both. Will be back!

Tasty, well balanced vegetarian ramen! Also got: tempura veggies & the waffle fries & not pictured: the vegan dumpling (that alone was not great). I got the GF noodle. Was perfect. Don’t forget the minced garlic on the side. Go for the very spicy with the oil, and it still will be a very tolerable spice level haha.

The Spicy Paitan ramen and katsu curry were really good - right on taste and balance of flavors. The service was great, they kept checking on us constantly about the food and if we needed anything else. Friendly staff and decent ambience for a casual dine-in.

Amanda with Offline - The restaurant served excellent dry rub spicy chicken wings, which were very flavorful. I also had the extra super spicy bomb ramen, and a Japanese whiskey flight. The combination of the spicy food and the whiskey was a fantastic experience. Will definitely return and recommend

Overall, 3.5 to 4 stars. Ramen soup base is tasty and creamy but a bit salty. Teriyaki chicken has too much sauce on it but the flavor is good. The lighting is too dark in the restaurant and the next table turned on their phone flashlight to look at the menus. The table surfaces were sticky ( we changed the table once and both tables were the same), suggest to resurface and paint primer over the tables.

One of the best ramens I have ever had! The broth was delicious and the portion size was very generous. My friends and I drank our bowl clean!

The ramen here is absolutely delicious. The vegan gyozas are okayish. They have Sapporo and Kirin on draft. It was good overall, the taste of the broth was there, will definitely come back to try more.

Finally got to try Tumble22 after hearing all the hype from my friends, and I have to say—it’s absolutely worth it! I went for their chicken burger and ordered the highest level of spiciness, and it did not disappoint. The flavor was bold, the heat was intense yet enjoyable, and overall, it was a super satisfying meal. I also tried their dirty fries on the side, and they were a pleasant surprise. The chicken toppings added a unique twist that I hadn’t seen before, making them even more delicious. The outdoor patio was a great spot to enjoy the meal, and the overall vibe of the restaurant had a true Texan feel to it, adding to the experience. Definitely a place I’d visit again for some amazing spicy chicken!

This place never disappoints, hands down the best Nashville fried chicken in Austin! The flavor is always amazing perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and the spice level is just right. Every time I eat here, it hits the spot. On top of that, the staff is always nice and friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, you’ll leave happy and satisfied. Highly recommend!

I ordered the OG chicken sandwich… DANG HOT style. And it was hot! I love spicy and this spice level hit the spot. I asked for a popular side and got the Mac & Cheese. YUMMY!!! Cheese was sooo gooey. Thia place is busy but service is quick and impeccable. Parking is small but there’s more across the street. Highly recommend for a quick bite with friends, family, or casual date night.

I was excited to try this food, I was excited when I sat down and after I received the food; things just seemed weird. In vacation, first time here. I recommend going when the sun goes down so you can see the lights. Very pretty and gives great ambiance. They have inside and outdoor seating. The inside is cold, they do have fans on if you sit outside in the heat. This is a family friendly restaurant. They do offer alcoholic beverages and regular drinks. The drinks were not expensive, and neither was the food. I think I spent right around $35-$40 for two meals including drinks. You have to use your phone to get the menu. We ordered tenders and bone in. First thing I noticed was there wasn’t ANY hot sauce bottles on any table only ketchup. Thought this was weird for a fried chicken place in any part of Texas. There is a spice level for the chicken, it kind of reminds me of the Nashville hot chicken. It’s like a seasoning rub that’s used so the chicken isn’t wet in a sauce. The sauces actually comes on the side. However, they did have a hot honey which was tasty but didn’t give the hot sauce type of hot I was looking for. Eating the chicken I noticed the skin was thick and not cooked fully because it was still kind of wet and sticky under the outside coating. The wet sticky part could be felt on the actual chicken. The chicken was just barely done on the inside. I couldn’t eat it as I liked to. Of course I couldn’t have asked for fried hard but the way it initially looked, I thought it was fried hard. The chicken texture seemed in between rubbery and 2 seconds done after it being raw. Hard to explain in this fashion of explaining. I was ok enough to pick over it and eat the pieces I liked. The tenders were fried to perfection. No Nashville hot seasoning just regularly fried. The pickles that come on the chicken is sweet. They gave options of dipping sauces. After we ate, I watched a guy ( long blonde hair, not sure of name as he wasn’t my waiter) he was an Employee, he made me feel super uncomfortable with his actions that I was EAGER to leave this establishment. We are sitting on the inside to the right, which is in the shape of a square. There is me and 3 other tables with people there. This employee checks on his tables outside near us about every 3-5 minutes. So much that I start making eye contact and slightly raising hand to get assistance. He never stopped. As he’s coming from outside checking in his tables he comes inside as he has one table inside. We are sitting in a L shape and my table was at the top of the L. He checks on the table right next to me, skips the table in the middle goes to the end table then makes his way back to the table in the middle table. As I’m waiting for my turn to be checked on he simply leaves and goes back into the kitchen. After about 5 minutes get up peak in the kitchen ( because it’s no door ) and ask if someone could get my check ready. My waiter is there chilling talking about apartments. My waiter only checked on us right after we got our food then never again. I’m not the same race as the neither employees yet the other tables all were. I could only feel mistreated so I hurried and paid then left as I didn’t feel welcomed and it showed. Especially if my child asked about this when I never said out loud how I was feeling. Could have been an oversight or could have not been. Instead of making it into something more I simply left. Probably won’t return. There is another location I seen off 35. Parking lot is a nice size where maybe 20 or so cars can fit

Tumble 22 has been my favorite place to go with friends for years I can't believe it took me this long to leave a review, but Magnolia's service made me realize how much it was needed! Not only was Magnolia one of the sweetest servers we've had in many years, the food was amazing as always. The fried chicken here reminds me of my great-grandmother's recipe and the sides are always stellar (11/10 recommend the dirty Mac). I love that you can choose your own spice level. The happy hour here is by far the best in Austin especially when you throw some Big Larry's into the mix. The pie is always the highlight of the night, and the pecan toffee/chocolate pie is easily the best I ever had. Shoutout to Magnolia for turning a bad day into a great one!

Stopped by for dinner a few weeks back, it was pretty late.. there was no host, but when we approached inside. Houston was perhaps the only one kind enough to help us get a seat.. we asked if he could be our server, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was the perfect balance of crispy, soft and juicy.. I believe my sandwich was called the triple threat. I removed the chorizo and replaced it with coleslaw, praying the coleslaw would be good.. and to my surprise, it was. It def, def over delivered.. we also got some butter cream dessert our server had suggested, but went straight into digging in when we got it, I forgot to get a picture. But c’mon.. tell me this doesn’t look amazee!!!

One of the best meals I had during my time in Austin! The OG sandwich and Mac-n-cheese were SO fire. Special thanks to Dylan for being super kind and giving me some great recs!
